What is a glacial tarn?
A tarn is a small, steep-banked mountain lake, formed when a glacier advancing down a slope scoops material out of the ground in a "cirque" at the base of the slope. (Essentially, it continues downward into the ground before moving horizontally again.) When the glacier melts, the depression can fill with water, and is refilled by melting snow unless it becomes filled by silt.
How can movement of glaciers cause lakes to form?
As glaciers move, they can carve out deep depressions in the land called cirques. When the glacier retreats or melts, these cirques can become filled with water, forming lakes. Glaciers can also create moraines, which are piles of debris that dam up valleys, creating lakes behind them.
How do you calculate density of cyclohexen?
cyclohexane is a liquid so it may be filled in a flask of known volume and may be weighted out ... the ratio of mass and volume represents the density....
What level is filled by krypton?
The fourth electron shell is filled by krypton. Krypton is the last element in the fourth period on the periodic table. Each of the periods represents an electron shell. Elements in the first period have electrons in the first shell; elements in the second period have electrons in the second shell; and so on.

Did Canada and the US make the Great lakes?
Land features, expecially the size of the great lakes, are generally formed by natural processes. In the case of the great lakes, they were formed by huge glaciers moving southward. Each lake represents where a glacier stopped moving. When the glacier melted away, there was a deep and wide hole left where its immense weight had carved into the Earth, and the melt water filled the hole.
A man made channel filled with wate and used for boat or forirrigation is called a?
A man-made channel filled with water and used for boat traffic and'or irrigation is called a "canal."
Why is Iceland famous for the Jokulsarlon glacier?
Jökulsárlón (or Jokulsarlon) isn't a glacier.It is a lake, which formed in 1934 because of the glacial melting of Breiðamerkurjökull.(or Breidamerkurjokull in an anglicised version).The lón, which means lagoon, is filled with icebergs, which are calving off the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier, which is the reason it is a popular "famous" tourist destination.As you mentioned it, "the Jokulsarlon glacier" is the Vatnajökull glacier, the before mentioned Breiðamerkurjökull is a "icefall sub-glacier" of Vatnajökull, but they are the same block of ice.Vatnajökull is the largest glacier in Europe. These are some reasons to "why Iceland is famous for the Jokulsarlon glacier".

How the Great Lakes formed?
Have you ever wondered how scientists think the Great Lakes were formed? The answer to that starts with the ice age. During the last ice age, there were large masses of ice called glaciers. The last major glacier called the Laurentide formed. It covered almost all of Canada and extended to the United States as far as Chicago, Illinois. As it started melting and receding, it pushed against the land and made big empty spaces. All the water that was left behind, called meltwater, filled those holes which made the Great Lakes. (This may help your child with homework).They were formed by glaciers applying pressureto the ground so the ground weathered (broke down into small pieces) and the glacier melted and that is the water.
How does a kettle lake formed?
It forms when huge blocks of ice remain, half buried in sand and gravel, A bowl shaped deppression that was formed by a block of ice and a glacier and then becomes filled with water.
Is a proper fraction bigger than an improper fraction?
No, it is smaller. The numerator represents parts of a whole. The denominator represents the whole, or how many parts you need to make a whole. So if you have 2/7, that means only 2 parts out of seven wholes are filled. if you have 12/4, that means the denominator was filled 3 times, and you have 3 wholes.
