How are salts deposit formed?
High tides flood the salt pans with sea water which evaporates to leave behind salt deposits. This is how salt deposits are formed.
How did glaciers impact Minnesota?
They leave behind glacial lakes, striations, and river valleys creating the Minnesota landscape there is today.
How do you describe the landscape made by alpine glaciers compared to the landscape by continental glaciers?
Alpine glaciers leave behind U-shaped valleys, deep, high-altitude lakes and cliffs. Continental glaciers flow outwards scraping the landscape clean, making fairly flat lands and lakes
What do glaciers leave behind as they leave?
They leave behind cold water. <><><> They also leave behind to rock and soil that they have pushed forward, known as morraine. THIS IS TRUE.Gradpoint/Novanet :) ;) -jesstyn wise a.k.a bill
When did the last glaciers leave Michigan?
10,000 years ago
What do glaciers leave behind as the retreat?
As glaciers retreat, they leave behind deposits of rocks.
When deposits of till build up What is left behind?
When deposits of till build up, they can leave behind various landforms such as moraines, drumlins, eskers, and outwash plains. These features are created by the movement of glaciers and the deposition of sediments as the glacier retreats.

What do glaciers leave behind as evidence of their existence?
1) Glaciers carve fjords in valleys where they travel. A fjord is a long, narrow valley with steep sides carved by glacial movement. A fjord represents the seaward end of a deeply excavated glacial-trough valley that was partially submerged by drowning after melting of the ice. 2) Glaciers leave behind deposits known as glacial till, which are unstratified, poorly-sorted sediments. Glaciers move a wide range of sedimentary particles from small clay-sized particles to large boulders. When the glacier either melts or retreats, these poorly-sorted sediments are deposited. These deposits are known as tillite in lithified sedimentary rocks. 3) A mound or ridge of till (unstratified glacial drift) is deposited when a glacier begins to retreat or melt. As the glacier grows and extends, it pushes glacial drift at its front forming a mound of debris. This glacial drift is then dropped in place when the glacier retreats or melts which creates a terminal moraine. Medial moraines, which are formed by the conjunction of two glaciers, are also deposited as a glacial melts. Glaciers erode the sides of the valleys in which they travel. Therefore, when two glaciers unite (in much the same rivers unite), a line of glacial drift (medial moraines) from both glaciers is formed. 4) Glaciers leave scrape marks behind on the rocks on which they traveled.
How does glacier erosion occur?
Glaciers can cause erosion because they move, though they do so slowly. As they move, often only a few inches a year, they scrape away and can gouge out the land, and then leave behind morass, which can be made up of left behind bits of rock or whatever happened to be in the glacier.
