The Canadian Rockies

 

 

The Canadian Rockies include the Canadian portion of the North American Rocky Mountains. The Canadian Rockies are noted for being the wellspring of a few significant stream frameworks, furthermore for the numerous streams inside the reach itself. The Rockies structure the gap between the Pacific seepage on the west and that of Hudson Bay and the Arctic Ocean on the east. Of the range's streams, just the Peace River enters the extent. Striking waterways starting in the Canadian Rockies incorporate the Fraser, Columbia, North Saskatchewan, Bow and Athabasca Rivers. The Canadian Rockies are very diverse in appearance and geography from the American Rockies to the south of them. The Canadian Rockies are made out of layered sedimentary shake, for example, limestone and shale, though the American Rockies are made generally of transformative and molten shake, for example, gneiss and granite. The Canadian Rockies are general more rough than the American Rockies, on the grounds that the Canadian Rockies have been all the more intensely glaciated, bringing about pointedly pointed mountains divided by wide, U-formed valleys gaged by ice sheets, where as the American Rockies are general more adjusted, with stream cut V-molded valleys between them. The Canadian Rockies are cooler and wetter, providing for them moister soil, greater waterways, and more icy masses.
