Across
- 2. Common sedimentary rock...made of grains of sand
- 5. A mixed forest region is an example of what?
- 7. This sedimentary rock is largely made up of the skeletal remains of shelled organisms etc.
- 11. Of all the factors which affect climate, which appears to have the single greatest impact?
- 12. These "currents" explain why plates move.
- 14. Process by which sediment becomes cemented into sedimentary rock
- 16. Geologist who came up with the theory of Plate Tectonics
- 18. The prairies are largely composed of this type of soil profile.
- 21. Oldest landform region in Canada
- 23. Came up with the theory of Continental Drift
- 24. High-temp range, low total precip. and summer max precipitation maximum....
- 25. The "supercontinent" which broke-up 300 million years ago.
Down
- 1. The upward movement of water in a calcified soil profile.
- 3. The six factors which affect climate
- 4. Main reason why Tundra is the predominant vegetation type Canada's north.
- 6. Oil-rich landform region.
- 7. Ideal soil with a balance of silt, clay, sand and humus.
- 8. Highest - lowest temperature
- 9. Most common igneous intrusive rock.
- 10. Most of Canada's population lives in this soil region.
- 13. Opposite to the windward side of a mountain in an Orographic precipitation pattern
- 15. In the summer this is the most common precipitation pattern in Burlington.
- 17. A typical consequence of a very wet soil profile
- 19. "Nearness" to water has what effect on climate?
- 20. Orographic/Relief precipitation is affected by this single factor.
- 22. Layer between the crust and outer core.
