What are the five benefits and disadvantages of glaciation?
Benefits -Melting glaciers result in many rivers and lakes, providing a water source for hydroelectric power. -Moving glaciers stripped the soil of Canadian Sield, exposing the underlying bedrock and valuable minerals. -Glaciers deposited valuable and fertile soils into the Prairies. -Glaciers are tourist attraction. -Provides freshwater for humans and surrounding flora and fauna. Disadvantage -Although exposure of bedrock may be useful, this involves the removal of fertile soil that originally covering the rock. -Living in a glaciated region may result in floods during warmer seasons. -Glaciers often lay down poor quality soil if they don't strip it away. -Poor soil left behind is only good for growing vegetation of little value. -Glaical boulder clay is subject to erosion at coastlines, resulting in loss of settlements alone the shorelines.
