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 ;)

Make some inferences as to why you feel the Southern Colonies had the most slaves and why New England had the fewest (hint: cons
Fed [463]

Answer:

The Southern Colonies had fertile soil and had a flatter geography.

The New England Colonies in the North had rocky soil and had hills/mountains inland which made them more on the industry side (this is also how the Union won the Civil War later on, the North was able to manufacture things while the South had mostly agricultural plantations). There wasn't much use for slaves in a factory, and much more in the South where plantations and large farms were.

The North was very religious besides Pennsylvania where the Quakers resided.

The South barely was religious because your nearest neighbor would be a few farms over, so you don't really converse with them much.

aliya0001 [1]

Answer: in one word: onesidedness. disappearance of traditions (at least in their most authentic form), globalization of English, some values, abilities or professions are viewed as positive (flexibility, mobility, commercial use, marketing, IT technologies) whereas others are disappearing or are not respected.

Explanation: each culture and each historical era is onesided, i.e. limited in its views and attitudes. Cultures are not holistic in their approaches. Psyche of common people is not holistic eitherr (of course). It is the same with globalization. The main criterion of values is a commercialization. Superficial approach to the world,  nature, animals.
