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 ;)

What reasons were given for the ""policing of the western hemisphere""?
alexdok [17]

The "policing of the Western Hemisphere" is a phrase that conveys Roosevelt's attitude when it came to international affairs. Roosevelt believed that the United States was justified in exercising this policing for several reasons. He argued that there had been chronic unrest or wrongdoing in the Western Hemisphere for a very long time, and someone had to put an end to it. Moreover, he stated that the United States would intervene in conflucts between European countries and Latin American countries if the European powers had a legitimate claim. He argued that this attitude would work because it came hand in hand with the Monroe Doctrine. While the Monroe Doctrine was meant to put an end to European intervention, the "corollary" (which stated the US intention to police the hemisphere) was used to justify American intervention.
