Few people live on the Canadian Shield because it is mostly
craggy harbors
on the Arctic coastline
exposed bedrock
rolling fields of wheat
Answer:
exposed bedrock
Explanation:
The Canadian Shield is an area that exposed bedrock. Different types of rocks found in Canadian Shield are metamorphosed granite, sedimentary and igneous rocks and ancient sedimentary rocks. this is the reason few people live on the Canadian Shield. Most of the population lives in southern part of the Shield.
The Canadian shield's bare surface is much useful for industrial purpose only such as for mining and hydroelectric power generation.
Hence, the correct answer is "exposed bedrock".

Answer:

Explanation:
Rocks are different than minerals because
How would stream deposits differ from glacial deposits?
Answer:
Sediments transported and deposited during the Pleistocene glaciations are abundant throughout Canada. They are important sources of construction materials and are valuable as reservoirs for groundwater. Because they are almost all unconsolidated, they have significant implications for mass wasting.
The Bering Glacier is the largest in North America, and although most of it is in Alaska, it flows from an icefield that extends into southwestern Yukon. The surface of the ice is partially, or in some cases completely, covered with rocky debris that has fallen from surrounding steep rock faces. There are muddy rivers issuing from the glacier in several locations, depositing sediment on land, into Vitus Lake, and directly into the ocean. There are dirty icebergs shedding their sediment into the lake. And, not visible in this view, there are sediments being moved along beneath the ice.
Explanation:
Subglacial sediment (e.g., lodgement till) is material that has been eroded from the underlying rock by the ice, and is moved by the ice. It has a wide range of grain sizes, including a relatively high proportion of silt and clay. The larger clasts (pebbles to boulders in size) tend to become partly rounded by abrasion. When a glacier eventually melts, the lodgement till is exposed as a sheet of well-compacted sediment ranging from several centimetres to many metres in thickness. Lodgement till is normally unbedded. An example is shown in Figure 16.31a.
Supraglacial sediments are primarily derived from freeze-thaw eroded material that has fallen onto the ice from rocky slopes above. These sediments form lateral moraines (Figure 16.1) and, where two glaciers meet, medial moraines. (Medial moraines are visible on the Aletsch Glacier in Figure 16.22.) Most of this material is deposited on the ground when the ice melts, and is therefore called ablation till, a mixture of fine and coarse angular rock fragments, with much less sand, silt, and clay than lodgement till. An example is shown in Figure 16.31b. When supraglacial sediments become incorporated into the body of the glacier, they are known as englacial sediments
