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

1 answer:

5 0

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

1) How does wind typically move according to pressure?

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer: 1. Ok so wind moves from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas. And the bigger the difference between the pressures, the faster the air will move from the high to the low pressure. And so basicly thats the wind we experience. 2. Winds blow towards the low pressure, and the air rises in the atmosphere where they meet. Swirling in the opposite direction from a low pressure system, the winds of a high pressure system rotate clockwise north of the equator and counterclockwise south of the equator. 3. these names of these name come from their origin; the westerlies run west to east while other winds run east to west. 4. Because Earth rotates as the air is moving, the winds in the Northern Hemisphere curve to the right and air in the Southern Hemisphere curves to the left. 5. its caused by the north. 6. Land and sea breezes are referred to as direct thermal circulations. During the day the land, which has a low specific heat and is a poor conductor, heats much more quickly than water.

6. Why does the north-east coast of Canada remain icebound during the winter

kow [346]

The North East coast of Canada remains icebound during winter

because of forcing of the air. As the North East coast of Canada is

located near to Northern poles and is nearer to sea hence the ports of

eastern coast of Canada freezes and the temperature in that area

becomes less than zero degree during the winter time.

Ocean currents are horizontal continuous flow of water from one place

to other . There are two types of ocean currents warm and cold flowing

along the coastline which will have an impact on climate. Thus these

waters are cold and tend to freeze up the ports early in winters.

How do dwarf planets differ from planets?

TEA [102]

Answer:

they do orbit the sun but they are farther away, they are very small, the dwarf planet Pluto is around the size of a moon, and I wouldn't say they have a clear path because dwarf planets don't normally have a clear path... they are normally around or are inside the outer asteroid belt of a solar system
