Publisher's Synopsis
This book is intended as a basic text for first year undergraduates and a continuing source book for more senior students. The Geomorphology of Canada presents a systematic explanation of Canada's landforms, with particular reference to its unique legacy of glacial and periglacial activity. Individual chapters discuss such topics as weathering, mass movement, rivers, coastlines, and karst. An extensive glossary explains terms that may not be familiar to beginning students.
