The landform at 9 is a(n): (a) basin; (b) sinkhole; (c) kame; (d) cirque; (e) kettle.
The landform at 10 is a(n): (a) terminal moraine; (b) lateral moraine; (c) ground moraine; (d) medial moraine; (e) recessional moraine.
The landform at 11 is a(n): (a) kettle; (b) kame; (c) esker; (d) drumlin; (e) horn.
The material at 12 is: (a) till; (b) ground moraine; (c) drift; (d) BOTH A and B; (e) ALL of these.
The material at 13 is: (a) till; (b) drift; (c) ground moraine; (d) BOTH A and B; (e) ALL of these.
The dominant agent which has shaped the landscape of diagram B is: (a) wind; (b) running water; (c) ground water; (d) glaciers; (e)
waves. The dominant process which has shaped the landscape of diagram B is: (a) eolian; (b) fluvial; (c) solution; (d) glaciation; (e) wave action.
The dominant agent shaping the landscape of diagram B now is: (a) wind; (b) running water; (c) ground water; (d) glaciers; (e) waves.
The dominant process shaping the landscape of diagram B now is: (a) eolian; (b) fluvial; (c) solution; (d) glaciation; (e) wave action.
A straight, U-shaped valley is most likely the result of: (a) sandblasting; (b) submarine erosion; (c) solution by ground water; (d) a rejuvenated surface stream; (e) valley glaciation.
A glacial feature which MAY be on land NEVER covered by a glacier is: (a) an outwash plain; (b) a drumlin; (c) an esker; (d) a recessional moraine; (e) impossible, so therefore, NONE of these.
Fiords are NOT: (a) bays; (b) related to glaciation; (c) associated with Norway; (d) wave deposits; (e) good harbors.
Alpine glaciers always extend below the snowline because: (a) above the snowline the glacier moves faster than it melts; (b) ice does not melt above the snowline; (c) glaciers form below the snowline; (d) the snowline is the lowest end of the zone of net wastage; (e) it is by definition the front of the ice.
The movement of a glacier is UNLIKE a stream in that it: (a) can flow upslope; (b) is not slowed by friction; (c) erodes its valley; (d) moves faster in the center; (e) ALL of these are differences.
One striking difference between the topography of most of the glaciated and unglaciated parts of the United States is that in the glaciated areas the ice has left more: (a) mountains; (b) rivers; (c) caverns; (d) lakes and swamps; (e) permafrost.
