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 ;)

do you think Churchill's quote accurately describes the relationship between Hitler and Chamberlain? why why not.
salantis [7]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Churchill’s quote that accurately describes the relationship between Hitler and Chamberlain is the following: "You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor and you will have war."

Neville Chamberlain had been the British Prime Minister at the beginning of the war. Winston Churchill seriously opposed Chamberlain's policy of appeasement that grated Nazi leader, Adolph Hitler, many concessions to avoid another war. Chamberlain had accepted to grant Hitler some territories to appease Hitler's ambition and Winston Churchill found this intolerable and in the end, he was right. Hitler's troops invaded Poland on September 1m 1939, and this represented the beginning of World War II.
