What is the difference between a dammed lake and a aquifer?
A dammed lake is a man-made reservoir created by blocking a river with a dam to store water for various uses. An aquifer is an underground layer of rock or soil that holds water, serving as a natural reservoir. Dammed lakes are surface water sources, while aquifers store water underground.
How do lakes form by tectonic plates?
Lakes can form by tectonic plates in a few ways. For example, the movement of tectonic plates can create depressions in the Earth's surface that fill with water to form lakes. Additionally, tectonic activity can also cause shifts in the landscape that block water flow, leading to the formation of lakes.
What is a snow drift?
A snow drift is a pile of snow that forms when strong winds blow snow around, depositing it in a concentrated area. Snow drifts can vary in size from small mounds to huge, impassable barriers depending on wind speed and snow density.
What is one way the pioneers affected the environment?
While the pioneers were making great discoveries in the western part of the United States, they were also having a significant effect on the environment. Specifically, they cut down trees, dammed bodies of water, and killed numerous animals, all without taking care not to overtax the land and it's resources.
How does an ice age affect landscapes?
The Ice freezes the landscapes so it can break easily. The landscape can break easily since it becomes ice. Not quite, if you define the landscape as the rocks that form it. Freezing water within cracks in the rock will split it eventually, but the primary effect is glaciation. Glaciers scour out huge U-section valleys and deposit the spoil as moraines or various kinds, erratics, sheets of till, outwash plains and on the sea-bed, huge sediment fans and drop-stones. They also leave assorted traces of their passing such as striations and plucking. The moraines can also create natural dams ponding water to create lakes that may eventually drain as the river incises the moraine but still leaves evidence of its existence as old shore-lines. Ice-dammed lakes at altitude can overflow through cols, cutting distinct notches in the ridge. In slightly less icy conditions, snow can create nivation hollows in the flanks of Chalk hills: the chalk is slowly dissolved by meltwater under remnant snow-patches usually on the North-facing (in Northern hemisphere) flanks. The changes of sea-levels consequent on glacial and interstadial periods leave tell-tales such as drowned river valleys and raised beaches. Following ice-retreat, isostatic rebound of an area of continental crust that had been depressed by the sheer weight of a deep ice-cover can locally activate faults, creating irregular profiles in rock surfaces and ridges, with accompanying earthquakes. Those in Norway continued into historical times but the rebound there has more or less ended. As a handle on the weight of an ice-cover on the landscape, that over Scandinavia in the last glaciation reached 3km thick, but if we take a mean cover of only 2km, and the density of ice as 0.9 Tonne/m3, that gives a mass of 0.9 x 2 x 103 x 103 x 103 Tonnes per square kilometre, = 1.8 x 109 T/km2 The area of the Scandinavian Peninsula + that of Denmark is about 820 000 sq.km. so an ice-sheet of mean thickness 2km over that lot will weigh: 1.8 x 8.2 x 109 x 105 Tonnes = 1.48 x 1015 tonnes. Or if you prefer, getting on for fifteen million million Tonnes of ice. No wonder that part of the European Plate was depressed significantly.

How will the daintree be dammed?

How was yosemite valley form?
The Yosemite Valley was formed as glaciers scraped and carved the valleys and canyons with such force that the remaining granite still shows the direction of glacial movement. Rock debris from the last melting glacier dammed the valley and created Lake Yosemite.
