Most mountain valleys are typical glacial troughs. Some valleys in the westernmost Cordillera extend into fjords, which attain water depths of up to 750 m. What are the natural disasters in the Cordillera region? A variety of geological and geomorphic processes are potentially hazardous to life and property in the Canadian Cordillera. Natural hazards in this region are mainly products of high relief, high precipitation, and earthquakes. Why is the Cordillera important...
