Why were ships on the Great Lakes not able to reach the Atlantic Ocean?
Niagara Falls is a bit difficult to get over in a ship.
Why is freeze thaw weathering absoloutely vital if a glacier is going to be able to erode its valley?
Its to do with how it is able to form the glacier. There is a cylce where the ice can only cycle round and round if freeze thaw weathering is taking place, meaning that a glacier can erode its valley. The process of freeze thaw weathering erodes the valley.
How are lakes different from ponds?
Lakes are different from ponds because lakes are bigger than ponds and the sunlight is able to hit the bottom of a pound and create algae. The sunlight is not able to hit the bottom of a lake.
Are ships able to navigate the Great Lakes?
The vessels sailing to the north to lake Michigan are considered upbound even though they are sailing toward its effluent current.
How did the round goby effect the great lakes?
you mean how do they? they still do and they affect it badly by eating the native fish's eggs so they won't be able to reproduce.
How does a glacier create lakes?
Unlike a river, a glacier of ice may be many thousands of feet thick. This creates a significant pressure on the bed of the glacier - the rock on wich it rests. At the base of a glacier is a quantity of rock rubble, which is thus ground along the bed under the weight of the ice above. This glacier bed is able to deepen a portion of its course, much deeper that its natural outlet. Lake Manapouri for example, has a surface level of about 177m above sea level, but its deepest point is 444m. My local lake Wanaka, is 150km from the (drainage) coast has a surface level of just under 300m, but the deepest point is a number of metres below that. The glacier that created this lake was over 1000m thick - easily read from scouring of the mountains around. Eventually in a warming period, the glacier retreats and in that phase retreats quite fast, much faster than the river inflows can fill it with gravel and silt. But in the long run, it will be filled. All lakes are temporary features (land warping excepted). The same is true of Fiords, they are quite deep a few kilometres in from the coast, but at the point where they enter the ocean, their bed rises sharply as any ice beyond that is broken off by buoyancy processes. Also but minor, the glacier creating the fiord dumps its residual moraine debris at that point, as a mound at the mouth. So a fiord is a lake without a confined outlet.
What badge do you need to you need to be able to use rock climb on pearl?
You can use it after winning the Glacier badge at Snowpoint city.
How many natural lakes are in the US?
After researching for over an hour I was not able to find how many lakes there are... But I did find a list of all the lakes in the U.S and trust me, there are over a 100. I would estimate about 150-210 lakes in the U.S.
Where do you find apato in fossil fighters?
you should find a lot o' 'em in coldfeet glacier.(you will be able to go there once you beat the game.)
What is advancing glacier?
A Glacier will advance when the snow deposited in the collection zone exceeds the rate of melting at the terminus. There will be some time delay between these events, even a steep glacier will take a few years between the events.
What does glacier debris mean?
A short answer:Glacier debris, or more properly called glacial debris,would be made up of bits of rock that were deposited by a glacier after it had melted away.A longer answer:Glacial debris is produced by the action of glaciers. As you probably know, glaciers are massive sheets of ice that advance and recede depending on the amount of snow that they get and the climate in the area. Because they are made of ice, they are very strong and able to pick up rocks of all sizes, from large boulders to small specks of sand.As glaciers creep along the landscape, they often pick up these pieces of rock and transport them as the glacier advances. When the glacier melts, these pieces of rock are left behind as glacial debris.
How are lakes and oceans are able to stabilize air and land temperatures?
water is able to absorb large amounts of heat without significantly changing its temperature.
