Across
- 2. An industry that takes place in the Canadian Shield; must have trees
- 3. (2) A lowland region with lots of farming and oil drilling
- 4. A common hobby in the Canadian Shield because there are lots of lakes
- 6. The growing of crops; best suited for lowland regions
- 8. Natural disasters that could see lava spewing out violently
- 10. The liquid rock the exists under the tectonic plates
- 12. (2) The series of processes that change rock from one form to another
- 14. Plates rubbing together may form these natural disasters
- 15. This disaster forms over the ocean & pummels the land with rain and violent winds
- 18. Name of the supercontinent that existed 225 million years ago
- 21. A disaster formed when hot and cold air mix & violently swirl
- 22. Molten rock; sometimes known as ‘lava’
- 24. The process of breaking down rock into smaller pieces
- 26. (2) Landform region with forests, lakes, rivers, and exposed bedrock
- 27. The outermost layer of the Earth; where all human life exists
- 29. A highland landform region full of icy, snow- and glacier-covered mountains
- 30. Western _________; a highland region with sharp mountains, lakes, and trees
- 31. Rock that is formed from layers of compressed sediment over long periods of time
- 32. These exists in sedimentary rock; courtesy of ancient creatures and plants
Down
- 1. Tectonic plates pushing into each other and ‘crumpling’ up may form these
- 5. Rock that is often the oldest and the newest; fire rock
- 7. Disasters occurring in dry forests or grassland areas; made worse by high winds
- 9. Disasters which normally occur near rivers and low lying areas
- 11. This disaster would occur on the side of a mountain
- 13. (2) Theory proposed by Alfred Wegener; deals with plate tectonics
- 16. The centre of the Earth; a solid, super heated ball
- 17. A highland region with old, rounded mountains
- 19. The carrying away of sediment by wind, water, and glaciers
- 20. (2) ___________ St. Lawrence Lowland; landform region with many large cities
- 23. Rock that has been changed with heat and pressure
- 25. Last name of the German geographer who proposed continental drift
- 28. Disaster created when earthquakes occur on the ocean floor
