How can glaciers cause deposition?

Geography

Oxana [17]3 years ago

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 ;)

Why does ocean temperature change little from day to night? Marine ice caps keep ocean water from heating up t0o much. Lesser cl
babymother [125]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Water has a high heat capacity. This means it takes much energy (compared to other elements and compounds) to raise the temperatures of water by a degree. This, therefore, means that during the day, the land becomes hotter faster than the oceans. (The reason for sea breeze during the day). Likewise, during the night it takes much time for the water to lose the heat and drop its temperatures (compared to land – the reason for land breezes at night)

horsena [70]
The answer to it will be solar energy had become a hit since the shift of some electrical appliances had adapted itself to solar energy using low energy consumption.  There are already discoveries that used this method as an alternative source of energy in houses and buildings. On the other hand, the wind is also a good alternative source of energy. This has been used by in far places.
