A similarity between hurricane storm waves and tsunamis is that they both create very large waves that can damage and erode shorelines. However, hurricane storm waves and tsunamis form differently. High winds from a hurricane create large surface waves, as the wind transfers energy to water. Tsunamis form when energy is transferred to water by underwater landslides or earthquakes.
Force from waves crashing on the shore eroded away coastline rock. Without any rock to support it from below, the road collapsed.
The Bow River is located on the eastern side of the Rocky Mountain continental divide. Rivers flow downhill under the force of gravity. Even though the Bow Glacier is closer to the Pacific Ocean, its water can’t flow uphill over the continental divide. Instead, the water slowly flows downhill toward Hudson Bay.
The glacier’s movement eroded mountain rock. As the glacier moved, rocks underneath scraped away the mountain rock to form the U-shaped valley.
El Niño is an ocean current that affects western Canadian climate. El Niño makes the climate in Canada drier, with less rain and snow. Without rain and snow, forests become very dry, which makes them burn out of control easily.
