Answer:

Russia has built the Trans-Siberian Railroad to overcome the Friction of Space.

Explanation:

Russia is the largest country in the world, and on top of it, its territory is stretched by longitude which creates a situation where from the easternmost to westernmost point the distance is incredibly big. As both the eastern and western coasts are strategically very important for Russia, it is crucial that they are connected with infrastructure that will enable relatively fast and cheap transportation and traveling.

The solution came in the form of the Trans-Siberian Railroad. This is the longest railroad in the world, starting from Saint Petersburg, diverging into two lines, one going to Tyumen but before that at Yekaterinburg turning to merge with the other line at Chelyabinsk, continuing to Chita where it diverges again with one line going through Khabarovsk to Vladivostok while the other moving slightly through Mongolia, Harbin in China, and ending in Vladivostok.

.Ice scrapes up a jumble of sediment as it moves across land. Sediments in Heinrich layers are ______. *

cluponka [151]

The sediments located in Heinrich layers contain almost exclusively ice-rafted detritus, known as IRD.

Heinrich layers are layers of sediment in the North Atlantic. These sediments have consist of high amounts of debris in Foraminiferida shells brought by ice. This composition explains how these layers function as a historical record of major ice releases.

These layers are formed from huge releases of ice of the Hudson Strait ice stream. The North Atlantic cores of sediment found in these layers are badly sorted and lack almost any foraminifera, being composed of primarily ice-rafted detritus (IRD).

These IRDs are described as sediments of no particular size that are carried by floating ice until they are introduced into the water and mix into the environment. This Ice carries debris located within it in the way a raft would carry a person, by allowing it to float on the surface of the water
