Some water will be held in depressions in the soil surface is called what?
lakes
What collects rainfall?
Lakes, rivers, the oceans, and depressions in the Earth collect rainfall. Also barrels.
How were lakes formed in Scandinavian countries?
Because of the depressions that the glaciers left behind.
What effect do glaciers do on the drainage of the shield?
The scarping and gouging action of the ice created depressions in the bedrock. These depressions filled with water to form the hundreds of thousands of lakes that now dot the shield.
Describe the effects of glaciers on the drainage of the shield?
The scarping and gouging action of the ice created depressions in the bedrock. These depressions filled with water to form the hundreds of thousands of lakes that now dot the shield.
Are lakes constuctive or desructive force?
lakes are destructive forces.
Describe the effects of glaciers on the following the drainage of the shield?
The scarping and gouging action of the ice created depressions in the bedrock. These depressions filled with water to form the hundreds of thousands of lakes that now dot the shield.
What part did glaciers play in forming the great Lakes?
By melting all over the place and eventually creating a lake.
Why does a lake often have a short life?
Most lakes are relatively short lived in geologic terms. Many lakes eventually disappears because too much of their water drains away or evaporates.
Why are they called the Finger Lakes?
Because they are long and narrow - just like fingers.The lakes are valleys that were carved out by glaciers, during the last ice age. It is one of the most beautiful regions of New York State. Looking down on them from above (like from Google Earth or on a map) they look like the fingers of a hand.
What geological structures in the country account for these bounty?
Geologic structures refer to things like mountains, rivers, lakes, and ponds. They are things that are natural. These structures are what gives a country its rich bounty of natural resources.
What are two ways that lakes form?
By Ricardo & bryanThere are a number of natural processes that can form lakes. A recent tectonic uplift of a mountain range can create bowl-shaped depressions that accumulate water and form lakes. The advance and retreat of glaciers can scrape depressions in the surface where water accumulates; such lakes are common in Scandinavia, Patagonia, Siberia, and Canada. The most notables examples are probably the Great Lakes of North America.
