The Oak Ridges Moraine is an ecologically important geological landform in the Mixedwood Plains of south-central Ontario, Canada. The moraine covers a geographic area of 1,900 square kilometres (730 sq mi) between Caledon and Rice Lake, near Peterborough. One of the most significant landforms in southern Ontario, the moraine gets its name from the rolling hills and river valleys extending 160 km (99 mi) from the Niagara Escarpment east to Rice Lake. It was formed 12,000 years ago by advancing and retreating glaciers (see geological origins, below). The moraine is a contested site in Ontario, since it stands in the path of major urban development (see political action).

  • La moraine d'Oak Ridges (littéralement « moraine Crêtes de Chêne ») est un des reliefs de l'Ontario. Cette crête irrégulière de 160 kilomètres s'étend de l'est vers l'ouest, de la rivière Trent à l'escarpement du Niagara. Parallèle à la rive nord du lac Ontario, la moraine sépare les bassins hydrographiques qui alimentent le lac Ontario à l'ouest et la baie Georgienne, le lac Simcoe et la rivière Trent au nord. (fr)
