The ice lobe that formed the statewide trough of the Minnesota River was the last of several that entered Minnesota during the l

ast period of glaciation. Ice lobes were dynamic tongues of ice that extended far south of the main ice sheet and in contrast to the glacial ice sheet that moved slowly, ice lobes advanced quickly and then stopped. Elaborate on how such an ice lobe may be responsible for the formation of the Minnesota River.
A) The ice lobes advanced and stopped many times, eroding the land to create a trough and then filled it with draining water from the ice sheet that was feeding them.
B) There was no true drainage valley for the melting glaciers and multiple small streams flowed from north to south. Eventually they merged, forming the Minnesota River.
C) Beneath the till of the Des Moines ice lobe lie layers of older glacial units from previous glaciations; these layers vary in thickness and when they melted, formed the Minnesota River.
D) Outwash plains contained large amounts of glacial till that eroded the land and one area was the trough of the Minnesota River. Eventually the waters of the outwash plain filled the trough.

Answer:

A) The ice lobes advanced and stopped many times, eroding the land to create a trough and then filled it with draining water from the ice sheet that was feeding them.

Explanation:

  • The creation of the Minnesota rover started when the bottom was an oversized valley having its roots in the ice ages when the glacier repeatedly moved 2 to 10,000 million years ago. For about 120-150,000 years ago the ice sheets formed by the lobes of ice in Minnesota and it was covered by moraine and glacial deposits.

antoniya [11.8K]

Seafloor of the Galveston is full of sand and sediment which is suspended in and around the bay.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The water in and around the Galveston bay. The reason for the water to be brown in that area is because of the sediments and other material which are suspended to be brown in the water.

The water in the Galveston is shallow as a reason of which the sediments and the sand turn over in that area is high, making it look brown in color instead of blue. Thus water seems to be dirty and muddy at many point of time.

2. Calculate the size of each lettered angle, giving a
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

a) w = 98°

b) x = 137°

Explanation:

The reason is that they are angles at a point

Which means they are equal to 360°.

Example;

a) 165° + 97° + w = 360°

262° + w = 360°

You then group like terms

w = 360° - 262°

w = 98°

Note: The reason is the same for b)

Conventional sources of energy is also called non-renewable sources of energy while non conventional sources of energy is called renewable sources of energy.

An example of conventional energy is coal, crude oil and natural gas. The advantage is the availability and affordability. The disadvantage is the level of air pollutants such as CO2 and CO it releases to the atmosphere which is harmful as it poses a risk of air borne illnesses.

An example of non conventional energy is the sun, wind , water etc. The advantage is that it reduces the risk of air pollution and keeps the environment clean as no toxic substances are being released into the atmosphere when used. The disadvantage is they are expensive and aren’t available all year round.
