Down: 1) geological feature evident today on Canada’s landscape, formed by ice sheets, an egg-shaped hill with a steep side at the wide end, and a gentle slope at the other 2) areas of high elevation containing mountains and plateaus3) valley formed by alpine glaciers moving down valleys scraping the valley walls to produce a U-shape 5) very large thick mass of glacial ice flowing outward in all directions from a zone of accumulation 6) areas of low elevation containing plains and hills8) coniferous forest that stretched from E-W across Canada. South of the tundra but north of the grasslands and mixed forest. separated from the tundra by the tree line.10) part of a glacier where snow builds up and turns to ice. The glacial ice moves outward from here. 13) rock picked up by the ice, carried along, and deposited many kilometres away; easily identifiable because its composition is different from the bedrock of the region in which is was deposited 14) glacier that spreads out to cover a large portion of a continent 17) steep cliff formed by erosion or faulting 18) eroded material deposited directly by the ice of a glacier; usually mixture of materials of all sizes 20) forward glacial movement. If more snow accumulates than melts, a glacier will advance. 22) in glaciation, a groove often gouged out in the bedrock under the ice sheet by rocks frozen in the ice 23) elevated flat area26) water is removed from an area by flowing out of depressions in the land such as lakes and rivers Across: 4) flat to gently hilly areas created by deposition under a glacier7) small stream flowing in the much larger valley created by a glacial melt 9) material deposited by a glacier, often in the form of hills 11) geologic, soil, water, vegetation, landform, climate, wildlife, human factors 12) A region based on its ecological characteristics. 15) period of time when freezing temperatures created ice sheets across continents. Glaciers covered most of Canada and the northern U.S. The last ice age ended between 6000 and 10 000 years ago. 16) shrinking of a glacier, caused when the rate between two faults (cracks in the earth) drops down 19) valley created when the portion of land between two cracks in the earth drops down21) long narrow inlet of the sea with steep sides, that were created by glaciers that scraped out valleys, melted and flooded the valleys 22) deep valley created by large amounts of water flowing from a melting continental glacier. May be occupied by a small stream or river.24) fertile bottom of an ancient glacial lake that is used for agriculture25) slow-moving mass of ice 27) softer sedimentary rocks erode more quickly than harder rock shaping the surface of the landscape28) a large area of Precambrian rocks that forms the core of a continent29) magma that has forced its way into cracks in the earth's crust30) glacier occupying one or more valleys in an alpine region (valley glacier) 31) long ridge of material deposited by a meltwater stream flowing beneath a glacier 32) trees with cones and often needlelike leaves.
