shape of Michigan not only today‚ but also during the glaciers of the Ice Age? The glaciers that covered Michigan over one million years ago scraped the top layer of the landscape as they moved‚ carving landscapes throughout the land. As the glaciers melted‚ rivers streamed through the channels created by the glacier. The streams that formed from the glaciers spread the materials caught in the glacier throughout the land down south. The glaciers aimed to travel the least resistant path and thus the

Weathering & Erosion Weathering is the process that produces change in the surface of rocks exposed to the atmosphere and/or hydrosphere. Physical weathering is breaking rock by force. ex: hitting‚ scratching‚ cracking Frost action (AKA ice wedging)- Water seeps into small cracks in rocks. When the water freezes it expands creating great pressure. The crack widens and allows water to seep deeper into the rock. (Robert Frost’s Mending Wall makes a reference to a frost heave

all of North America in over 6‚000 feet of snow and ice. During this time‚ the temperatures went up and down causing the glaciers to melt or to expand‚ often times causing them to move. This carved the landscape of Michigan (Why). Glacial erosion can happen in two primary ways‚ the first is called plucking‚ and this happens when rocks and debris stick to the underside of a glacier and then are carried off with it. The second is called abrasion‚ this is more of what we might think on when we think of

Explain how the processes of weathering‚ erosion‚ transportation and deposition have shaped New Zealand. New Zealand is an amazing Ever-changing land‚ full of natural wonders. But there is more to our country than this‚ much more‚ because our country is unique on Earth. Four and a half billion years have made it a country of extraordinary landforms‚ through four main processes. These processes are called weathering‚ erosion‚ transpiration and deposition. As well as our environment and physical shape

THE primary trigger for the Uttarakhand disaster following the very heavy rain during June 16-18 was the extremely unusual behaviour of the monsoon this year over north India. The incessant‚ heavy rainfall over three days‚ perhaps accompanied by a few cloudburst-type events (which cannot be confirmed)‚ resulted in flash floods and associated landslides. The devastation

Rocks within the Wildcat creek were eroded before glaciers passed through the area. When glaciers did pass through‚ they left behind glacial drift which resulted in the valley. With this‚ there
