The Appalachian Uplands are one of the seven physiographic divisions in [[Canada]]. Canada's GSC does not use the same classification system as the USGS below the division level. The agency does break the divisions of the Appalachian Uplands into 13 subsections that are in four different political provinces of Canada.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Atlas of Canada - Physiographic Regions |url=https://atlas.gc.ca/phys/en/index.html |access-date=August 17, 2023 |website=Government of Canada|date=September 12, 2016 }}</ref>

While the Appalachian Highlands and Appalachian Uplands are generally continuous across the U.S./Canadian border, the St. Lawrence Valley area is handled differently in the physiographic classification schemas. The part of the St. Lawrence Valley in the United States is one of the second-level classifications, part of the Appalachian Highlands. In Canada, the area is part of the first-level classification, the [[St. Lawrence Lowlands]]. This includes the area around the city of Montreal, [[Anticosti Island]], and the northwest coastline of Newfoundland. 
The dissected plateau area, while not actually made up of geological mountains, is popularly called "mountains", especially in eastern Kentucky and West Virginia, and while the ridges are not high, the terrain is extremely rugged. In Ohio and New York, some of the plateau has been [[Glaciated rock|glaciated]], which has rounded off the sharp ridges and filled the valleys to some extent. The glaciated regions are usually referred to as hill country rather than mountains.

The Appalachians do not include the [[Adirondack Mountains]], a distinct and growing range that is a part of the [[Canadian Shield]] and belongs to the [[Grenville Orogeny]].<ref name="geomorph">{{Cite web |url=http://daac.gsfc.nasa.gov/geomorphology/GEO_2/GEO_PLATE_T-11.shtml |title=Geomorphology From Space&nbsp;– Appalachian Mountains |publisher=[[NASA]] |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071206045710/http://daac.gsfc.nasa.gov/geomorphology/GEO_2/GEO_PLATE_T-11.shtml |archive-date=December 6, 2007 |access-date=December 27, 2007}}</ref><ref
