occupy 50% of the territory.

Canada is rich in rare metals such as uranium, iron ore, natural gas,

oil, coal, potassium salts, asbestos. Plains of the north and west are rich in energy raw materials,

and areas of the Canadian Shield - with metallic ores. [11]The country is covered with a dense

and full-flowing river net. The hydropower potential of its rivers is one of the largest in the world.

[9 ]The real wealth of the country is the forest tracts, consisting of coniferous species and

occupying almost half of the territory of Canada. The country has no equal in terms of timber

reserves per capita.

Russia is the largest country in the world, it occupies about 1/8 of the land

(excluding Antarctica).[1]Russia is located in the north-eastern part of the largest continent -

Eurasia, occupying about one-third of its territory, including the eastern part of Europe and the

north of Asia.[3] About 70% of the country is covered by plains and lowlands.[2 ] Russia is very

rich in forests, almost 40% of the territory is occupied by them. There are 4 climatic zones Russia:

Arctic, subarctic, temperate, which is the main part of the country and subtropical.[16]A

significant part of the territory of Russia is unfavorable for agriculture, especially plant growing.

However, the active development of space, the building of large cities in the harsh environment

led to the expansion of agricultural production far beyond the boundaries of territories with

favorable soil and climatic conditions. Depending on climatic conditions, soil types, each region

specializes in certain crops. According to the reserves of fresh water Russia ranks first in the

world.[14] Forests occupy 45% of the territory of Russia, and the total area of the forest fund is

1179 million hectares. Coniferous species prevail in the forests (spruce, pine). They occupy 70%

of the forest area and constitute 77% of the total timber stock. Almost all types of minerals have

been explored in Russia.

Secondly, it is necessary to compare The main features of plant-growing in both countries.The

production of potatoes, beans, sugar beets, vegetables is developed in Russia, grain and oilseeds

grow. [15]The Volga region, the Urals, Western Siberia, and the Southern Caucasus are the

country's bushels. The bulk of cereals, as in the whole world, is wheat. There are 10% of all

arable lands of the world in Russia.[5 ] And thanks to weather conditions, in Russia both winter

and spring crops are grown. In addition to barley and wheat, rye is grown in Russia, oats, corn,

buckwheat and rice are cultivated. Among the root crops, the first place is occupied by potatoes.

Another branch of plant growing in Russia is the cultivation of leguminous plants, which include

beans, lentils, soybeans, peanuts, and the like. Seeds of which can be eaten both after

appropriate treatment, and in a raw kind. Textile crops are represented in Russia by cotton, as

well as flax-dolguntsem, which serve as raw materials for the domestic textile industry. Another

direction, less developed in Russia because of the climate, is vegetable growing and melon
