Interior Platform vs Interior Plains

As is happening commonly across Wikipedia, there is some confusion going on between physiographic regions and phsyiogeologic ones; Intermontane Platform is the geologic zone/belt, Interior Plains is the physiographic landform. These should be separated and delineated; same as how Intermontane Belt and Intermontane Plateaus (in Canada known as the Interior System) are different in scope/shape and meaning. Geography and geology are not quite the same thing.....Skookum1 (talk) 02:18, 11 March 2009 (UTC) this is b.s. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.188.9.189 (talk) 19:59, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alternative Origin

Interior platform and plains might have been formed only 13,000 years ago when an extraterristrial rock fell down to Hudson Bay. The impact was so severe that it dumped fine sand sediments (White) on the interior plains, extending to Tuktoyaktok, NWT, where it is now evident that the community is suffering from Climate change and poorly picked spot for Hudson Bay to go about their business way back when it first started.== —Preceding unsigned comment added by Arviatlands (talk • contribs) 20:51, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Add section titled geography to discuss the physiographic classification of the division in Canada and the United States.

Include more information on the physiographical classification hierarchy that resulted in the physiographic region that crosses the two political boundaries and discuss the secondary and tertiary regions. Deanrah (talk) 19:10, 8 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
