How can glaciers cause deposition?

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 best compares and contrasts how John Newlands and Dmitri Mendeleev organized elements?
dangina [55]

The correct answer is B. Both Newlands and Mendeleev arranged elements according to their atomic masses, but only Mendeleev used chemical properties as well.

Explanation:

Both John Newlands and Dmitri Mendeleev were relevant chemists, mainly known for designing the period table, which organized chemical elements. In the case of Newlands, he designed his period table around 1865 by organizing the known elements based on the atomic masses of elements (number of protons and neutrons); also, he divided elements into groups.

On the other hand, Mendeleev designed his periodic table around 1869; in this, elements were also arranged by their atomic masses, but Mendeleev considered the properties of each element such as electronegativity, which implied some minor changes in order, as well as leaving some spaces for elements that had not been discovered, but that Mendelev could predict. Thus, the option that compares the organization in both periodic tables is B.
