What are some geological characteristics of glaciers in Glacier National Park?

Biology
1 answer:
Svetllana [295]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The minimum size criterion for a glacier is 0 .1 km², or about 25 acres. Below this size, the accumulated ice generally does not move and is stagnant. Many years of snow accumulation compacts the bottom layers of snow into ice. Under the huge weight of the snowpack (usually 100ft/30.5m thick or more), the ice becomes viscous and allows the mass to slide downhill. The appearance of crevasses and cracks attest to a glacier’s movement. Glaciers don't "bulldoze" landscape as much as they melt and re-freeze, plucking material from areas of snow deposition and moving it to other areas, like downhill conveyor belts.

What is the best representation of the basic formula foe any monosaccharide
Allushta [10]

Explanation:

Monosaccharides are defined as the simplest form of carbohydrates. It consists of carbon atom, hydrogen atom and oxygen atom.

In disaccharides and polysaccharides, monosaccharides are the basic building blocks.

As two units of a monosaccharide leads to the formation of a disaccharide. Similarly, more than two units of a monosaccharide will lead to the formation of a polysaccharide.

Basic formula of a monosaccharide is (CH_{2}O)_{n}, where n can be equal to or greater than 3.

Recent photographs of the planet Mars reveal deposits that suggest the former presence of liquid water. How does this compare wi
kolezko [41]

Answer with Explanation:

Let's start first with water on the Earth's moon. This is called "lunar water."

The moon was thought to be barren by scientists long time ago. However, they found out that there are actually <em>water reserves located in the shadowed craters.</em> It is said that the formation of this water was possible with the existence of <u>Oxygen atoms in the lunar rocks and minerals. </u>Due to the <u>solar wind</u> that blew into the place, <u>the Hydrogen ions from the wind combined with the Oxygen in order to form water.</u> So, the water that is found here is relatively fresh.

Let's go to "water on Mars." This is said to be <em>more older than the water on the moon</em> and is actually not that pure for it consists of some mixtures of rocks. It is said that billions of years ago, Mars had an abundant supply of water, but due to climate change, the supply didn't last long. As a result, the planet dried out and only the areas in the polar and mid-latitude regions have water<em> (in the form of ice).</em> This ice melts and refreezes, depending on the temperature. This is an evidence that people may possibly live on Mars.

SSSSS [86.1K]
The answer is: d. comparable in size to the heterosexual females
Simon LeVay is a neuroscientist that studies the relation of brain structure and sexual orientation. He examines the interstitial nucleus of anterior hypothalamic cells. The size of the nucleus in homosexual is found to be similar to women while the heterosexual male is much larger. The result doesn't enough to say that sexual orientation is genetic. This proves that there is the dimorphic nucleus in different sexual orientation.
