As the glaciers in North America melted, the runoff formed a large lake in what is now southern Manitoba, eastern North Dakota,

and western Minnesota. Called Lake Agassiz, it was larger than all of the current Great Lakes combined. The present Lake Winnipeg is a remnant of this ancient lake. The City of Winnipeg is located on the ancient lakebed. What kinds of soils would you expect to find beneath the city, and what would be their likely geologic origin? What would be the typical engineering characteristics of these soils? ​

Answer:

1.lacustrine clays and silts

2.The likely geologic origin will be water disposition

3. strength and compressibility

Explanation:

What kinds of soils would you expect to find beneath the city

Answer->lacustrine clays and silts

what would be their likely geologic origin

-The likely geologic origin will be water disposition.

disposition can be defined as  a situation whereby a material transported by water is deposited.

What would be the typical engineering characteristics of these soils? ​

The engineering characteristics will be found in its strength and compressibility. It has the capacity to withstand external force.

They are grainlike with dimension of about 0.06mm, Sedimentary in property and can be used for engineering activities

What is the main type of tectonic plate boundary that exists along the edge of the north american plate near the coast of northe
Kitty [74]

Answer:

To the east, the North American plate shares the Mid-Atlantic Ridge with the Eurasian plate. This divergent margin, offset throughout by transform faults, began spreading approximately 180 Ma ago, opening the North Atlantic Ocean. Evidence of Mesozoic juvenile crust formation in New England can be correlated with the event.

Explanation:

The San Andreas transform boundary between the Pacific and North American plate originates from the shallow, oblique subduction by the North American plate of the Monterey microplate

The Monterey-Pacific ridge stopped spreading and Monterey accreted to the Pacific plate. As a result, the Pacific plate’s motion with respect to the North American rotated, transforming a network of shallow faults into dextral transform faults

9. Which of the following is a primary consumer in the Newfoundland oceanic ecosystem? A) Shearwaters B) Penguins C) Capelin D)
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

9.) <em>Humpback Whales</em>

10.) <em>Phytoplankton.</em>

11.) <em>Sotronger upwelling winds</em>

Explanation:

9.) A primary consumer feeds on primary producers, of all the options given Humpback Whales, are the only ones meeting the criteria in the options given since they feed with plankton (a primary producer).

10.) Phytoplankton are the base of the Southern Antarctic Ocean trophic chain. In the nutrient-rich upwelling zone waters, they can reach huge blossoms and are far more common than other forms of zooplankton in this zone.

11.) The productivity of this ecosystem is influenced by the seasonal cycle of the upwelling winds, these peak during the months of December and January, carrying more nutrients and allowing trophic networks to work more efficiently and actively allowing for more productivity.
