Describe the effects of glaciers on the drainage of the shield?
Glaciers can alter the drainage patterns of a shield by creating valleys and basins through erosion. As glaciers move, they carve out new paths for water to flow, influencing the direction and speed of drainage. Glacial meltwater can also interact with underlying soil and rocks, affecting groundwater movement and storage.
Two factors that effect the size of glaciers?
Two factors that affect the size of glaciers are temperature and precipitation. Higher temperatures can cause glaciers to melt faster, while increased precipitation can help glaciers grow by adding more ice mass.
What was the impact of glaciers on the Canadian shield?
Although the exact amount of material transported will never be known, suffice it to say that massive amounts of soil and rock were carried away from the area of the Canadian Shield by glaciation during the most recent ice-age. The weight of the glaciers actually depressed the land surface, and scraping and gouging by rock-filled ice created thousand of depressions which are now lake basins.
What are some differences in how two types of glaciers effect the land?
Valley glaciers are narrower and longer, flowing through valleys and carving deep U-shaped valleys. Continental glaciers are wider and thicker, covering large land areas and shaping landscapes through erosion and deposition. Valley glaciers are more localized in their impact, while continental glaciers have a broader influence on the land.
What effect do moraines have on a physical landscape?
Moraines are piles of rocks, soil, and debris left behind by glaciers. They can impact a landscape by creating landforms such as ridges, hills, and valleys. Moraines also play a role in shaping drainage patterns and influencing soil development in the area.

Describe the effects of glaciers on the following the drainage of the shield?
The scarping and gouging action of the ice created depressions in the bedrock. These depressions filled with water to form the hundreds of thousands of lakes that now dot the shield.
Does the Canadian shield have hundreds of lakes carved by glaciers?
yes, it does
What effect do glaciers have on ice shelves?
the effect is
How did glaciers effect the physical landscape of Canada?
Glaciers made basins and when the glaciers melted it left lots of lakes.
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 physiographic region was most affected by glaciation--massive continental glaciers?
The Canadian shield
What area of Canada has most of its surface scrapped up by ice age glaciers?
The Canadian shield.The Canadian shield was the area of Canada that had most of its surface scrapped up by ice age glaciers. It covers half of Canada and the glaciers that scrapped the shield also made the huge holes, that are also known as the great lakes.
True or false Is the Canadian shield is a flag of Canada?
Canadian Shield is the flat rock formation that covers northern ontario. It was caused my glaciers scraping the soil away.
What are all the scientists that study glaciers?
The scientific study of glaciers and their effect on the landscape say again
What effect will rising temps have on the earth?
melting glaciers -> flooding
Can acidic water cause glaciers to melt?
Water can speed up the rate at which glaciers melt. Whether the water is acidic or not has no effect.
