		Present-day elevations in the shield are mostly between 300 and 600 m (984 and 1969 ft), except in limited areas, such as the Québec-Labrador Peninsula, where they rise about 1070 m (about 3510 ft).
		The climate is arctic in the northern shield, where the mean January temperature is about –32° C (–25° F), the growing season is less than 40 days a year, and lakes are free of ice for only about three months annually.
		The northern Canadian Shield is sparsely populated, mainly by Inuit (Eskimo) and Indians, but the southern shield has numerous urban areas, which have developed principally as centers for exploiting natural resources.

		The Precambrian Shield is an extensive structural unit of the Earth's crust composed of exposed basement rocks formed during the Archean or Proterozoic eons which together comprise the Precambrian Era ending 544 million years ago.
		The best-known examples are the Canadian Shield and the Baltic Shield in Scandinavia.

		The Canadian Shield, also called the Precambrian Shield or the Laurentian Plateau, is a vast horseshoe-shaped area around Hudson Bay covering eastern and central Canada, and a small part of the northern United States.
		The rocks of the Canadian Shield were formed in Precambrian times 500 million years ago during a lengthy period when two tectonic plates converged, causing the surface rock to be forced down into the interior of the earth, melt, rise back to the surface and slowly cool.
		The Canadian Shield is also called the Precambrian Shield since it represents the exposed bedrock of the Precambrian Era.
