Glaciers deposit their sediment when they melt. They drop and leave behind whatever was once frozen in their ice. It’s usually a mixture of particles and rocks of all sizes, called glacial till. Water from the melting ice may form lakes or other water features. Moraine is sediment deposited by a glacier. A ground moraine is a thick layer of sediments left behind by a retreating glacier. An end moraine is a low ridge of sediments deposited at the end of the glacier. It marks the greatest distance the glacier advanced.
A drumlin is a long, low hill of sediments deposited by a glacier. Drumlins often occur in groups called drumlin fields. The narrow end of each drumlin points in the direction the glacier was moving when it dropped the sediments.
An esker is a winding ridge of sand deposited by a stream of meltwater. Such streams flow underneath a retreating glacier.
A kettle lake occurs where a chunk of ice was left behind in the sediments of a retreating glacier. When the ice melted, it leaves a depression. Hope this helps ;)

Which of the following statements best explains the connection between the social status of women and a country’s overall health
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Women who enjoy a higher social status are usually more educated than women of a lower social status.

Explanation:

Women, unfortunately, don't have the same social status as men in many countries. While in the countries with Western culture and values, as well as most of the former communist states of Eastern Europe, there are still many regions where women have a very low social status.

The women have a low social status in countries that are Muslim dominated or are at a low development level. This is due to the huge effect that religion and tradition have in these societies, but putting women on such a low level hinders their progress. On the other hand, where women have the same, and in some cases even more rights than men, they have higher social status, contribute to the development of the society and economy, and the countries are much more open and better places for leaving.
