Severn and Abitibi Uplands are similar; both are underlain by crystalline archean rocks and both have broad rolling surfaces that rise gently from Hudson Bay Lowland in the north reaching about 1,500 feet in their higher parts near the southwest and southern borders. Most of the uplands lie between 900 and 1,200 feet elevation. Large areas in southwest. Severn Upland and northern Abitibi Upland are mantled by glacial lake deposits. 3, record 1, English, - Abitibi%20Upland

La règle concernant la majuscule au générique d'un nom géologique demeure imprécise. Habituellement, les noms de divisions stratigraphiques portent la majuscule et les entités de moindre importance n'en portent pas. 2, record 1, French, - bas%2Dplateau%20d%27Abitibi

Les bas-plateaux de la Severn et d'Abitibi, recouverts de roches cristallines archéennes identiques, ont une surface onduleuse étendue, qui s'élève graduellement à partir des basses-terres de la baie d'Hudson au nord, et atteint environ 1,500 pieds d'altitude près des limites sud-ouest et sud des bas-plateaux. Leur altitude dans la majeure partie se situe entre 900 et 1, 200 pieds.
