What is a wide valley through which a river flows?
a canyon, gorge or vale
What is the material called that is deposited by meltwater beyond the end of a glacier?
The material deposited by meltwater beyond the end of a glacier is called glacial outwash or outwash plain. It consists of sediments such as sand, gravel, and boulders that have been carried by the flowing meltwater and deposited as the glacier retreats.
What is low land between hills and mountains Ranges called?
A valley or a plain.
What low land between hills and mountain ranges called?
A valley or a plain.
How Is A OutWash Plain Formed?
An outwash plain is formed near glacial areas. The glacier melts and loses not only water, but solid deposits it has picked up over time. The deposits are carried away with the meltwater and deposited over a broad plain. The larger solid deposits like boulders are typically found near the glacier, while smaller deposits such as silt can be found at a fair distance from the glacier.
A board ramp-like accumulation of sediment found downstream from the end moraine of a glacier is called?
A board ramp-like accumulation of sediment found downstream from the end moraine of a glacier is called a "glacial outwash plain." This feature forms as meltwater from the glacier carries and deposits sediments, creating a flat, often expansive area composed of sand, gravel, and other materials. The outwash plain typically extends beyond the terminal moraine, showcasing the glacier's retreat and the subsequent depositional processes.
What are the landforms in Huang Ho Valley?
The main landforms in the Huang He (Yellow River) Valley include the Loess Plateau, which is characterized by extensive deposits of wind-blown silt, and the North China Plain, a fertile alluvial plain where the river flows. The valley also consists of deep gorges and terraced hillsides in some areas.
How are outwash plains formed?
Outwash plains are formed by the deposition of sediment-rich water that flows from a retreating glacier. As the glacier melts, it releases large volumes of meltwater that carry sediments and debris, which are eventually deposited and spread out across the landscape. Over time, these sediments accumulate to form a flat, relatively featureless plain known as an outwash plain.
When large amounts of lava flows out of fissures onto land the lava can cover a large area and form a plain called what?
a plateau
A broad accumulation of stratified drift deposited adjacent to the downstream edge of an end moriane is?
outwash plain
When large amount lava flows out of fissures onto land the lava can cover a large area and form a plain called?
Plateau
