Question

I need help with this assaigment A. The modern floodplain of the Souris River near latitude , longitude can be identified by the flat area on both sides of the active stream channel. What other meandering stream features named in Fig. 12.13 do you recognize in this image?

Transcribed Image Text:The 7.5-minute quadrangle map of Voltaire, North Dakota, includes part of the course of the Souris River (Fig. A12.4.1). Part of a large continental ice sheet extended south and west from the Hudson Bay area of eastern Canada during the Pleistocene Ice Age, covering this area. As the ice sheet melted and became smaller, meltwater streams flowed where the ice had been, transporting and depositing vast amounts of sediment. Streams have been forming and modifying this landscape since the ice retreated, about 11,000-12,000 years ago.
