Answer:
Conditions at the base of a glacier increase glacial flow velocity -
Steeper slope
Smooth rock / glacier contact
Colder basal water temperature.
Explanation:
Steeper slope and smooth rock/glacier contact will increase glacial flow velocity because higher the steepness higher the velocity and smoothness will apply less friction.
Due to decrease in ice thickness the load at the bottom of the glacier will decrease, and we know that the glacier flows under the load of itself, so lesser the load lesser the velocity.
Colder basal water temperature will generate less amount of melt as compared to warmer basal water temperature, so in colder condition, glacial flow velocity will not be increased.
Three important resources include energy, mineral, and timber.
Energy (natural gas, crude oil, crude bitumen (oil sands) and coal)
Mineral (gold-silver, nickel-copper, copper-zinc, lead-zinc, iron, molybdenum, uranium, potash and diamonds)
Natural resources are important for supporting the economy, and supporting the necessity of the citizens.
Good luck on your assignment!
Answer: The two major geographic features provided on the east and west boundaries of piece of land are:
1. The land is "Louisiana Purchase".
2. The east boundary is "Mississippi".
3. The west boundary is "The Rockies".
Explanation: The Louisiana purchase is a piece of land of about 530,000 acres which was sold by France to the US President which was Thomas Jefferson in 1804.
