PLEASE HELP! URGENT!
7. Which letter arrows point to hanging valleys?
8. Which letter arrows point to aretes?
9. Name a peak on the map that is a horn.
10. Feature E on the map is composed of glacial till. What type of glacial feature is E, and how did it form?
We don't have your map.
I dont know how to post it. How do I do it?
There is no way to post a link here.
hahaha, jade never got her answers.
well jade if it helps now, 7) is b and 8) is D.
To answer these questions, we will need to refer to a map or diagram that includes the mentioned features. If you have a map or diagram, please provide a description or upload it so that I can assist you better.
However, I can still explain the concepts and processes behind the answers to your questions so that you know how to identify them on your map or diagram.
7. Hanging valleys occur when a smaller glacial valley intersects with a larger glacial valley. The smaller valley is left hanging at a higher elevation compared to the larger valley due to the differential erosion caused by the glacier. On a map or diagram, hanging valleys are typically represented by smaller valleys or tributaries entering a larger valley, often perpendicular to its main flow. Look for valleys that seem disconnected in elevation but are still tributaries to the larger valley.
8. Aretes are narrow ridges that form due to glacial erosion on both sides. They are often sharp and elongated and form when two adjacent glaciers erode parallel valleys that eventually meet. On a map or diagram, aretes are represented by long, narrow ridges that connect higher ground between two valleys or cirques. Look for sharp ridge-like features that separate two or more valleys.
9. Horns are sharp, pyramid-shaped peaks formed by glacial erosion. They occur when multiple glaciers erode a mountain from different sides, forming steep faces on each side. On a map or diagram, horns are represented by triangular or pyramid-shaped peaks. Look for distinctive peak-shaped features that have multiple steep faces.
10. Glacial till is unsorted, unstratified sediment deposited directly by a glacier as it melts. It is composed of a mixture of different-sized particles, including clay, silt, sand, gravel, and larger boulders. Feature E, composed of glacial till, is likely a moraine. A moraine is a landform made up of glacial till that accumulates along the sides or in front of a glacier. It forms as the glacier carries and deposits debris along its path of movement. Look for a mound-like or elongated feature on the map or diagram, commonly found along the edges of glaciers or in front of them.
Remember to refer to your map or diagram and look for specific features and characteristics that match the explanations provided.
