Answer.Arctic:Week by week after the March equinox, the region experiencing 24 hour daylight grows, extending from the North Pole until the June solstice, when the entire region from the Arctic Circle to the North Pole experiences 24 hour daylight. Following the June solstice, the region in the Arctic, this 24 hour daylight diminishes week by week until the September equinox, when the Sun sets at the North Pole and remains below the horizon for the next 6 months. The exact opposite happens from September to December. It's dark 24 hours a day.The darkness diminished from December until March, when the Sun again rises at the North Pole; Antarctic:The exact opposite.

State some of the land forms of the Morteratsch Glacier.
Answer: U-Shaped Valleys, Fjords, and Hanging Valleys
Glaciers carve a set of distinctive, steep-walled, flat-bottomed valleys. U-shaped valleys, fjords, and hanging valleys are examples of the kinds of valleys glaciers can erode.
Paragraph: It is just after the Pasterze Glacier and Gepatschferner, the third largest and by volume (1.2 km3) the most massive glacier in the eastern alps. The Morteratsch Glacier is a typical valley glacier with a pronounced ice front. The accumulation zone lies between the peaks of Piz Morteratsch, Piz Bernina, Crast' Agüzza, Piz Argient, Piz Zupò and Bellavista. From Piz Argient to the ice front in the Val Morteratsch, its horizontal extent is less than ~6 km (3.7 mi), with an altitude difference of up to 2,000 m (6,600 ft).[citation needed].
Together with the Pers Glacier, originating at Piz Palü, which joins the Morteratsch just below the rock formation Isla Persa ("Lost Isle"), as of 1973 it covered an area of about 16 km2 (6.2 sq mi). The volume of the ice is estimated to be about 1.2 km3.[citation needed] The Morteratsch Glacier drains into the Ova da Morteratsch, which eventually flows into the Inn and hence via the Danube into the Black Sea.[1]
In spring, depending on the snow conditions, a 10-km-long ski-run accessible to skilled skiers is marked on the glacier. It leads from the Diavolezza aerial tramway terminus to the Morteratsch inn and has an altitude difference of 1,100 m (3,600 ft). The Morteratsch railway station used to be situated directly at the ice front of the glacier. The ice front has receded over 2,800 m (9,200 ft) in the meantime (as of 2016), and can no longer be seen from the station.[1][2]
Yearly length change measurements have been recorded since 1878. For the period to 1998, the overall retreat was over 1.8 km (1.1 mi) with a mean annual retreat rate of approximately 17.2 m (56 ft) per year. This long-term average has markedly increased in recent years, receding 30 m (98 ft) per year from 1999–2005. Substantial retreat was ongoing through 2006 as well.[3] During the last ten years, it lost another 1 kilometre (0.62 mi).[4]
Answer:
The dramatic explosion that occurred during this period is most attributed to the introduction of high-calorie crops from the Americas.
Explanation:
Before the 1600s, Europe and many other regions in the world had a big problem with famine. The crops were suficient to support the population, but the problem was that it was just about enough, so minor problems meant famine. Having famines on a regular basis resulted in people dying relatively young, or a big percentage of the children were not reaching adulthood.
This changed dramatically when the Europeans discovered the Americas and with many crops, some of which were very high in calories. Naturally, these crops were introduced in Europe and the other regions, and these crops (especially the potatoes, corn, and maize) contributed to a larger production of food, but also food that was more nutritious, thus the famines became a rarity. Because the people had much better and more stable food sources they lived longer and the mortality among children dropped significantly so the population started to experience rapid growth.
