Types of Mountains in Canada

Rounded and worn mountains are the result of erosion and have a smoother appearance. (True/False)

The Canadian Shield extends from northern Mexico to Greenland. (True/False)

The Canadian Shield consists of soft rocks less than 1 billion years old. (True/False)

Erosion is a natural process that moves rocks and soil from one place to another. (True/False)

Sharp and jagged mountains are typically found in areas with older rock formations. (True/False)

The Shield has diverse geological, physical and biological features, such as thousands of lakes, mineral deposits, and tropical rainforests. (True/False)

Deposition is the process of removing sediment, soil, and rocks from a landform.

Weathering is the process of adding rocks and minerals to the surface of the Earth.

Erosion transports the bits of rock and minerals away.

Climate refers to the weather conditions of a place averaged over a long period of time.

Weather can change in a very short time.

Climographs display climate information such as average temperature and precipitation.

A continental climate is characterized by mild winters and cool summers.

Demographers are people who study demography.

Demographics refers to the study of human populations.

A census records information about the population's characteristics, such as age, sex, and occupation.
