Ernst Christof Friedrich Zündel (born April 24, 1939) is a German neoNazi,Holocaust denier and pamphleteer who was jailed several times in
Canada for publishing literature which "is likely to incite hatred against an

hatred.“ He lived in Canada from 1958 to 2000.
On February 5, 2003, Ernst Zündel was detained by U.S. local police and
deported to Canada, where he was detained for two years on a Security
Certificate for being a foreign national alleged to be a threat to national
security pending a court decision on the validity of the certificate.
Once the certificate was upheld and Zündel was determined to be a national
security risk he was deported to Germany and tried in the state court of
Mannheim on outstanding charges of incitement for Holocaust denial dating
from the early 1990s. On February 15, 2007, he was convicted and


28. DESCRIBE 3 PERIODS OF GEOLOGIC
DEVELOPMENT.
1. The Canadian Shield was formed about
2,000 million years ago.
 2. Sediments that accumulated in long, narrow
basins, three regions (cordilleran mountai
system, appalachian system, innuitian system
across the high arctic, from Alaska to
Greenland.
 3. Depositing of sediments in shallow seas
about 500 million years ago.

29. GLACIATION
Its a shield of ice formed 2, 000 million years
ago made from rocks.
 30. How has glaciations altered the Canadian
landscape?
 Almost all of Canada was under ice during the
last 1.5 million years. Only 1% is under ice
today.

33. DRAINAGE BASIN
An area of land that is drained by river systems.
 34. Characteristics that created the drainage
basins?
 Location and size.

36.EXPLAIN HOW EACH OF THE FOLLOWING
EFFECT NATURAL VEGETATION.
Latitude: because of the curvature of the earth,
heat from the sun has to cover a larger area the
farther the sun’s rays fall from the equator.
This results in temperatures decreasing from
south to north in the northern hemispheres.
 Distance from oceans:
 Close to oceans, climates are temperate, with
warm summers, cold winters, and less
precipitation.

Air Movement: Because air moves from west to
east at Canada’s latitude, weather patterns
move in easterly direction.
 Landforms: The western cordillera prevents
warm, moist pacific air moving east across
Canada. Interior Plains sometimes let moving
air spread easily; at other times, they act like a
saucer, holding bodies of cold air in winter and
hot air in summer.

38. HOW DOES PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY
INFLUENCE HUMAN GEOGRAPHY? EXAMPLES
 Canada
is a northern country with little land
suitable for agriculture.
 As a result, the area of Canada inhabited by
significant numbers of people is small.

of deaths in a population in a given period.
 Rate of Natural Increase: the overall rate at
which populations increase.
 Birth Rate: the number of live births per 1,000
