The elliptical shape of the Earth's orbit precession of the equiboxes (top like wobble of earth's axis) Variations in the sun's radiation output changes in of the Earth's axis Crevasses in glaciers extend down to but stop at, the bottom of the glacier about 300 meters variable depths depending on the ice thickness the zone of plastic flow (about 40 meters deep) A glacially transported boulder, now resting far from its geologic source region is called a(an) kame cirque erratic The two areas on the earth that presently have continental glaciers(aka: Ice Sheets) are the Arctic & Switzerland Norway & Sweden Canada & Siberia Antarctica & Greenland Glacier National Park & the North Pole A cirque can best be described as a(an) linear deposit consisting of outwash & till band of depth-defying acrobats from France bowl-shaped depression at the upper end of a glacier deep scratch in rock caused by glacier sharp mountain ridge having glacier on both sides An end moraine that marks the farthest of a glacier's advance is called a terminal moraine recessional moraine lateral moraine medial moraine ground moraine "I am a till deposit dropped by a continental glacier. I am shaped like an upside-down spoon. I help indicate the direction that the glacier was moving. I am rarely found alone but usually in vast fields with many others just like me. What am I?" A kame A kettle An esker A drumlin "I was once a large chunk of ice that broke off a melting glacier. I was surrounded by insulting sediment from that melting glacier. When I finally did melt myself, I left a big hole in the ground which filled with my own melt water and formed a lake. What am I?" kame kettle An esker A drumlin Scientists know that Plate Tectonics causes "ice ages" that can last for millions of years. Each of the following is a way that plate tectonics changes earth's climate enough to do this except ellipsis Moves continents to colder latitudes Creates mountains that interference with atmospheric heat transfer Heat stored below makes surface colder Moving continents change ocean current heat distribution What was the original source of the water that first filled earth's oceans early in its history? rain and snowfall runoff from the land volcanic eruptions ground water Where did the salts that are now in earth's ocean water originally come from? Salt remained after earlier oceans evaporated, when those basins re-filled with rain water, salt re-dissolved Salts from land dissolved in the water that flowed off the land into the oceans. Some salts came from inside the earth, ejected by volcanoes and hydrothermal vents under the sea. Our early universe contained massive bands or belts of salt crystals which fell from space onto the early forming planets and moons. B and C. If the amount of sediment supplied to a shoreline from inland sources decreases, nearby beaches will experience which of the following? deposition no change erosion higher sea levels 'groin pains'
