This is aimed at User:Black Tusk but others may wish to take it up; the Intermontane Belt is one of hte main Physiographic regions of British Columbia as laid out in Holland's index/map; as I recall it's everythign between the Rockies and Coast Mountiains; not sure if it includes the Columbia Mtns but i think it includes the Interior Mountains and the Yukon Basin and associated plateaus. I'll try and find the map again. Skookum1 ( talk) 18:35, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
[undent]The link in your second post/first reply above is to "Geology"; in the index-links at the top of that page this link goes to "Physiographic regions" which is waht I was looking for; there are four systems indeed, but the Interior Plains are one of them and the other tree are the Eastern System, the Interior System and teh Western System; the maps are a bit sloppy (e.g. the Cariboo Mountains are shown flanking the Fraser, not on one side of them) but their listings are what I was expecting to find; this is the geography, the map/article you linked from the same site is the geography; just as if you looked at ecozones/ecoregions they're different again.....I'll amend the Western Cordillera section head now; this isn't an authoritative source however and it makes gaffes like "Omineca Ranges" instead of Omineca Mountains (the distinction is a latter-day one apparently invented by Holland and perfected by BCGNIS - "Mountains" in proper anmes like Columbia Mountains, Coast Mountains, are groups of "Ranges"...there was no formal disstinction in the old days, hence Cameslfoot Mountains and Boundary Mountains for waht are now the Camelsfoot Range (singular) and Boundary Range (singular)....multi-tiered definitions of landscape are a bedevilment, but we have to deal with them and can't try to combine them willy-nilly; that's WP:Synthesis....

BTW Skookum1, there is no real organization between geology and geography. It's an old battle - the distinction between geology and geography, with most geologists regarding them as related but distinct disciplines with areas of overlap e.g. glaciology and geomorphology, while there are some geographers that view geology as a sub-discipline. This is why some geology cats are sub-cats of geography cats. It's obviously not clear what the alternative hierarchy would be - it bears thinking about. BT ( talk) 11:04, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
