Activity 9.4 Depositional Features of Glaciers Pg 158Use Figure 9.7, which illustrates a hypothetical retreating glacier, to complete the following.
1. As a glacier retreats, it sometimes stalls and deposits a recessional end moraine. Label the recessional end moraine on Figure 9.7.
2. On Figure 9.7, label an area covered by ground moraine.
3. On Figure 9.7, fill in the appropriate blanks with the names of the following depositional features: kettle lake, kame, drumlin, esker, and outwash plain.
4. Which area is composed of stratified drift: the ground moraine or the outwash plain?

The waste disposal site is built on a sandy aquifer that has a relatively high permeability and the groundwater velocity varies seasonally from 0.2 to 0.8 m/day. The groundwater flow direction is from the waste disposal site toward the adjacent river.arrow_forward

The desired outcome of the curriculum delivered in environmental studies and sciences (ESS) programs at U.S. universities typically follow one of three ideal models- those focused on the systems sciences, those focused on policy and governance, or those focused on: a. adaptive management. b. environmental resource conservation. c. frontline practices of sustainability. Friedrich Ratzel's concept of lebensraum was turned to expansionist geopolitical ends through a particular reading of the work of Charles Darwin. One of the assumptions that Ratzel made in applying Darwin's ideas to the political world was that both animals and nation-states are: a. changing through the process of evolution. b. engaged in a competition where only the fittest will survive. c. surviving and developing in substantial part through cooperative strategies.
