- The Clay Belt is a vast tract of fertile soil stretching between the Cochrane District in Ontario, and Abitibi County in Quebec, covering 180,000 square kilometres (69,000 sq mi) in total with 120,000 square kilometres (46,000 sq mi) of that in Ontario. It is generally subdivided into the Great Clay Belt to the north running eastward from Kapuskasing, past Lake Abitibi and on to Amos, and the V-shaped Lesser Clay Belt to its south, running from Englehart down to the to the northern tip of Lake Timiskaming, and long the eastern side of Timiskaming and back up to Rouyn-Noranda. The Clay Belt is the result of the draining of the Glacial Lake Ojibway around 8,200 BP, whose lakebed sediment forms the modern landform. The Clay Belt is surrounded by the Canadian Shield, forming an island of "southern flatlands" in the midst of the hilly and rocky surroundings. Similar "glaciolacustrine deposits" dot the northern areas of Ontario, Quebec and Labrador. (en)
- La ceinture d'argile (enclave argileuse ou grande enclave argileuse au Québec) est une région du Canada de 180 000 km2 de superficie, à cheval sur les provinces de l'Ontario et du Québec, entre le district de Cochrane et la région administrative d'Abitibi-Témiscamingue, entre la baie James au nord et la région des Grands Lacs au sud. Elle est caractérisée par des sols très fertiles correspondant aux sédiments déposés au fond de l'ancien lac glaciaire Ojibway drainé il y a environ 8 200 ans. Cette région a fait l'objet d'un programme fédéral de promotion de l'agriculture à partir de la Première Guerre mondiale mais les conditions météorologiques peu favorables et l'importante présence d'insectes nuisibles entraîne son déclin dans les années 1930.
