Hydroelectricity in Canada

Hydroelectricity is energy produced from flowing water. The amount of energy produced depends on volume and speed: the more water moving at a fast rate, the more energy produced. For this reason, many hydroelectric stations are built near waterfalls. To produce energy, water is directed toward turbines — sometimes with the help of a dam — causing them to spin. In turn, the turbines make electrical generators spin and electricity is produced. It is a renewable, comparatively nonpolluting energy source and Canada’s largest source of electric-power generation. According to the Canada Energy Regulator, Canada is the third largest producer of hydroelectricity in the world.

Hydrofoil

Attempts to create a hydrofoil were made in England as early as 1861. A hydrofoil sustains its motion by the lift achieved by hydrofoil-plates that function in the water as airplane wings do in the air.

Hydrology

Hydrology studies the behaviour of water: its origin, distribution and circulation; its physical and chemical properties; and its interaction with the physical and living environment. Applied hydrology is primarily concerned with precipitation, with the occurrence and movement of frozen, impounded or flowing water (on or below Earth's surface) and with evaporation. More specifically, hydrology generally refers to the study of water on or over land rather than in the ocean. Hydrology is concerned with gathering information to determine quantities and rates of movement of water.

Hypo Helmet

The Hypo Helmet (or “Smoke Helmet”) was an early gas mask developed by Newfoundland doctor Captain Cluny Macpherson during the First World War. Macpherson began working on the Hypo Helmet after the Germany army launched its first chlorine gas attack at the Second Battle of Ypres in April 1915. The British army began issuing the Hypo Helmet to Canadian and British soldiers in May 1915. The design was soon modified, resulting in the P, PH and PHG Helmets. By war’s end, 2.5 million Hypo Helmets had been issued. The gas mask was one of the most important innovations of the First World War.

Ice

Ice, including snow, is the solid phase of water. It is useful to think of it this way rather than as "frozen water" because water can achieve the solid phase through the freezing of liquid water or by direct deposition (sublimation) of water vapour, its gaseous phase. These different processes can produce distinct ice forms in the atmosphere or on or below the Earth's surface. The form taken by the solid phase of water is often important in determining its environmental and other roles. Snow is one distinctive form of ice; others include glacier ice, river ice, lake ice, sea ice, ground ice of various types, hail, cloud crystals, hoar and rime. Ice crystals are typically hexagonal, a direct result of an internal symmetry produced by the orderly packing of the 3-atom water molecules (H2O) of which each crystal is composed. This crystal form is found in cloud crystals of a size considerably under 1 mm in diameter to crystals of over 10 cm diameter found in some glaciers.

Ice Cap

Ice caps are large masses of ice that rest on land and cover most of the underlying landscape. If bedrock appears in the central region of a large ice mass, then the region is instead called an icefield. When an ice cap is greater than 50,000 km 2 in size, it’s called an ice sheet. In Canada, the largest ice caps are found in the Arctic Archipelago ; the Agassiz Ice Cap on Ellesmere Island is an example. Ice caps are increasingly affected by climate change, as warmer temperatures are causing them to shrink at historically fast rates.

Ice Hockey in Canada

Hockey is Canada's official national winter sport and perhaps its greatest contribution to world sport. Canada is considered the birthplace of ice hockey, and Canadians generally regard the sport as their own.

Ice Storm of 1998

The ice storm of 1998 was one of the largest natural disasters in Canadian history. Between 4 and 10 January 1998, sections of the St. Lawrence Valley from Kingston to Quebec’s Eastern Townships received up to 100 mm of ice pellets and freezing rain — more than double the icy precipitation normally received in those areas in a whole year. The storm claimed as many as 35 lives, injured 945, and resulted in the temporary displacement of 600,000 people. Several roads were shut down and massive power outages occurred, cutting off electricity for nearly 1.4 million customers in Quebec and over 230,000 in eastern Ontario. The total financial cost of the storm is estimated at $5.4 billion.
