I found this....

Supraglacial Moraine

A supraglacial moraine is material on the surface of a glacier. Lateral and medial moraines can be supraglacial moraines. Supraglacial moraines are made up of rocks and earth that have fallen on the glacier from the surrounding landscape. Dust and dirt left by wind and rain become part of supraglacial moraines. Sometimes the supraglacial moraine is so heavy, it blocks the view of the ice river underneath.

If a glacier melts, supraglacial moraine is evenly distributed across a valley.

Ground Moraine

Ground moraines often show up as rolling, strangely shaped land covered in grass or other vegetation. They don’t have the sharp ridges of other moraines. A ground moraine is made of sediment that slowly builds up directly underneath a glacier by tiny streams, or as the result of a glacier meeting hills and valleys in the natural landscape. When a glacier melts, the ground moraine underneath is exposed.

Ground moraines are the most common type of moraine and can be found on every continent.

Terminal Moraine

A terminal moraine is also sometimes called an end moraine. It forms at the very end of a glacier, telling scientists today important information about the glacier and how it moved. At a terminal moraine, all the debris that was scooped up and pushed to the front of the glacier is deposited as a large clump of rocks, soil, and sediment.

Scientists study terminal moraines to see where the glacier flowed and how quickly it moved. Different rocks and minerals are located in specific places in the glacier’s path. If a mineral that is unique to one part of a landscape is present in a terminal moraine, geologists know the glacier must have flowed through that area.

a sample of ammonia contains 9g hydrogen and 42g nitrogen. another sample contains 5g hydrogen .calculate the amount of nitrogen
balandron [24]
9 g of hydrogen - 42 g of nitrogen
5 g of hydrogen - x g of nitrogen

9x=42 \cdot 5 \\
9x=210 \\
x \approx 23.33

The mass of nitrogen in the second sample is 23.33 g.

What makes this inauguration different from the past?
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

there's just a lot of drama around grumpy trumpy's StOlEN eLecTiOn which are all just fake claims. all his hardcore followers are brainwashed into believing anything he says, so people (especially people who are inside the capitol) fear that trump's followers might incite violence AGAIN even after they broke into the Capitol on the 6th.

That's why they have the National Guard and thousands of people to keep the building secure during Biden's Inauguration.

hope this helps!
