What are some landforms that were "created" in the ice age?
ella [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

Ice age is a period where there is expansion of glaciers and this leads to certain land forms. There were some land forms that were formed during the period of ice age due to the glaciers of that time. Great lakes were the creation of some land forms by the glaciers.

But the land form that was created due to the indirect effect of the glaciers in the ice age was the pluvial lakes. Striations, U shaped valley and cirques also are the land forms created.

Relationship between the location of the epicenters and depth of earthquake
VLD [36.1K]

Explanation:

Along divergent boundaries like the mid-Atlantic ridge and the East Pacific Rise, earthquakes are common, but restricted to a narrow zone close to the ridge, and consistently at less than 30 km depth. Shallow earthquakes are also common along transform faults, such as the San Andreas Fault.

Explanation:

When the earthquake depth is very shallow, it can be reported as a negative depth. Earthquake depths are calculated relative to the World Geodetic System of 1984 (WGS84) geoid, mean sea-level, or the average elevation of the seismic stations that provided arrival-time data for the earthquake location.

1. giant impact forms moon

2. end of heavy bombardment

3. early life (based on fossil evidence))

4. oxygen buildup in atmosphere

5. earliest mammals

6. dinosaurs go extinct

7. earliest humans

Explanation:

The Earth has a very interesting past, with lot of changes and turnarounds in it. If we sum it up quickly, we can say that soon after the Earth formed and collided with another large space object, part of the Earth was torn away, which eventually formed the moon. The Earth was constantly bombarded by meteorites and asteroids, but that came to an end as the atmosphere was becoming denser and denser. The first life started to develop in the oceans in the form of cyanobacteria, which used photosynthesis, and were constantly releasing oxygen, building it up int he atmosphere. The oxygen changed the living conditions, enabling the life to thrive and diversify. The dinosaurs and mammals eventually came on the scene, with the dinosaurs coming first by around 20 million years, giving them the edge to become the dominant life form. The mammals lived in the shadows until the dinosaurs existed, but their reign ended with a large meteorite collision. This prompted the quick evolution and diversification of the mammals, quickly becoming the dominant life form, and just few million years ago they gave rise to the earliest human ancestors, the hominids.
