Wadia April 01‚ 2013 Glazier Features Observed in Wayne County Ground Moraine (14‚000 to 24‚000 years old)- Ground Moraines often show up as rolling‚ strangely shaped land covered in grass or other vegetation. They don’t have the sharp ridges of other moraines. A ground moraine is made of sediment that slowly builds up directly underneath a glazier by tiny streams‚ or as the result of a glazier meeting hills and valleys in the natural landscape

Water changing the face of the Earth Many things change the surface of the earth‚ and one of those things is water. The course of rivers and creation of lakes can be attributed to receding glaciers‚ and rivers have made changes to landscapes from steep mountains to flat floodplains. As well as humans creating many changes in the flow and direction of rivers and creation and draining of lakes. Some changes happen very rapidly‚ such as building a dam and creating a lake within a short period of time

Minnesota A glacier is a large piece of ice on land‚ normally formed over time. A glacier forms when snow falls and compresses together to form the large mass of ice over time. The glaciers can move because of gravity‚ and the smoothness of the glacier. Glaciers were present in Minnesota thousands of years ago‚ and as they retreated they left behind large amounts of glacier meltwater and various landforms still present today.Glaciers are both constructive and destructive. The glaciers are constructive

At the beginning of this essay what captured my attention was how the men were going to take such a small dog on the expedition to the Alaskan glaciers with them
