A student buries an ice cube in a pan of dirt and observes the dirt as the ice cube melts. This activity is a model of the formation of a kettle.
The 3 major mountain ranges in the United States are the Pacific ranges and Rocky Mountains in the west and the Appalachian mountains in the east. The Pacific ranges are on the northwestern coast of the United States. The Rocky Mountains are in the western United States but east of the Pacific ranges. They extend all the way from Canada into Mexico and cover 8 states. The Appalachian Mountains are near the East Coast of the United States. They extend from Canada to Alabama. The main difference between the eastern mountain ranges and the western mountain ranges is their ages and heights. The Appalachian Mountain range is the oldest range in the United States. Because of this, the range has faced weathering and erosion, which has worn the mountains down. The highest peaks in the Appalachians are only 6,000 feet. The ranges in the west are much younger and in some cases still growing. The mountains in the west are much higher than those in the east, with peaks over 14,000 ft.
Hey, the answer to the question would be "The waters in the northern Atlantic are too cold for hurricanes to form."
Erosional landforms occur more often in the colder periods of the year because in this parts of the year there's usually more rain, and also there's snow ,and most importantly ice. The rain and snow contribute to the chemical decomposition of the rocks, while the ice with it's pressure contributes to the physical decomposition of the rocks, by literary increasing it's volume inside the cracks of the rocks and break them from the inside.
