When was the Canadian shield discovered?
about 4.8 billion years ago
What was the Canadian shield by?
Canadian Shield was formed when 2 tectonics plates collided, when they collided, folding occurred. The plate that was forced down, melted and rose back to the surface to cool down over time. These rocks (that were cooled down) eventually came to be known as the Canadian Shield.
What geologic process created the Canadian shield topography?
Glaciation, Ice Ages. The Shield has been stripped bare and scoured by the movements of huge sheets of ice the result of climate cooling and warming over thousands of years.
What happened and what caused the Japen tsunami?
the Japanese people actually knew that was going to happen it was supposed to happen years ago
How does the Canadian shield affect it's population density?
The Canadian Shield is made up of mainly igneous and metamorphic rock. During the Glaciation period in Canada, around 15,000 years ago, some rock was eroded leaving a lower altitude for the shield. This helped the population growth as it is easier to forge children in a lower altitude. The further south in the shield you go the more chance you have to find people because of a higher temperature. This helps crop growth. In the northern area there is a more mountinous landscape this also hinders life there. The fact that people came thousands of years ago to live in the southern region also gives time for growth.

How old is Canadian shield?
The Canadian shield are some of the oldest rocks on the Earth. According to The Bible, it is around 6000 years old. NOT billions of years old.Answer:The Canadian Shield contains the first solid land to be elevated above the sea level. The oldest of the rocks are precambrian in origin and were formed some 2.5 billion years ago. This makes the Shield about half as old as the Earth itself (4.5 billion years)

yes there was and it happened 3 years ago
What landform covers much of Canada around Hudson bay?
A landform near Hudson Bay is the Canadian Shield. The Canadian Shield is a large rocky area, which is over a billion years old.
Was the Canadian Shield caused by glaciers during the ice age?
The shape of the Canadian Shield was cause by glaciers and ice sheets during the many glaciations which have occurred during the last 2.6 million years of the present ice age.
What can be found in the Canadian Shield?
The Canadian shield was initially formed due to volcanic activity and large mountains. Now it is a large geographic area that is made up of bare rock that can be dated back to Precambrian Shield.

What is the Canadian shield's history?
Well it all started about 4 Billion years ago. It was a lonely time for the shield because, well, because there was no life for about 500 million years. Then the party started with some plate tectonics and some single cell organisms.......this is going to be a long story. I'll wait here while you go get some hot coco..... . .

What is Canada's shield?
