Landforms, Geology and Human Activities - Making Connections Issues in Canadian Geography(3rd Edition)

Coastal British Colombia

________ has the mildest climate in Canada.

Atlantic Ocean

The ________ grows 1.5 inches wider every year.

second possibility

The ________ is that the sedimentary rocks become the "bumper "when two continental plates collide.

Earth scientists

Some ________ think that glaciation may not be over.

common feature

A(n) ________ formed by deposition is a till plain.

Erosion

________ is the process of moving the broken- up pieces of rock.

Granite

________ formed from magma that cooled very slowly deep inside the Earth, giving time for large crystals to form.

Limestone

What is formed from the shells of tiny marine animals? Answer with a single words or term.

Subduction

________ happens pretty smoothly when the oceanic plate moves slowly and continuously under the continental plate, many earthquakes that cause no damage arise.

Tsunami

What is a set of large ocean waves caused by an earthquake or other powerful disturbance under the sea? Answer with a single words or term.

Climate change

________ resulting from human activities is a much more immediate threat.

Transform

________: Which is when along a(n) ________ plate boundary (a.k.a a conservative boundary), plates are made neither larger nor smaller.

Vancouverites

________ can choose among snowboarding, golf, or sailing- all in the same day.

C Sedimentary rocks

Who are created after millions of years of compaction and cementation of loose sediments? Answer with a single words or term.

Deposition

What is the process of the eroded materials building up in a new location? Answer with a single words or term.

Glaciation

________ is much less powerful force than plate tectonics, it is still fundamentally important to the creation of the Canadian landforms we seen.

Compaction

________ happens as loose sediments become tightly packed from drying or the weight of more layers of sediments on top.

plates

The ________ push against each other, and the tension builds up for centuries.

third possibility

What is that tectonic forces lift layers of sedimentary rocks out of the sea while keeping them more or less horizontal? Answer with a single words or term.

Glacial effects

________ fall into two broad categories, erosional and depositional.

process of ice

The ________ advancing and covering large areas of land are called glaciation.

Meltwater rivers

________ flow into meltwater lakes.

Western Canada

________ has remnants of the Cordilleran ice sheet, and glaciers still exist in the extreme north on Ellesmere and Axel Heiberg Islands.
