PACIFIC CORDILLERA

(Redirected from Canadian Cordillera)

The 'Pacific Cordillera' is a top-level physiographic region of Canada. This designation is peculiar to Canada because, in Canada, the Rocky Mountains drift west and crowd against the Pacific Coast Ranges, so that intramontane plateaus in Canada are narrow and they may be taken into consideration together with adjoining ranges.
