This paper discusses how
glaciations, huge sheets of ice that cover huge areas of land, have made significant contributions
to many aspects of Canada's environment. It looks at how today, glaciers are tourist attractions in mountainous areas throughout Canada, bringing in millions of dollars in tourism funds. In addition, glaciers are a natural resource and people in Canada are able to harness the power of these frozen streams. It shows that without Canada's intense glaciations, there would be less water for wildlife, for
agriculture and for
hydroelectric power.
