Why does Norfolk have flat land?

Norfolk has flat land because it is located in an area that was once covered by ice sheets during the last Ice Age. As the ice sheets melted, they flattened the land and deposited sediment, resulting in the flat topography seen in Norfolk today.


What is the Furthest advance of the continental ice sheets during the Ice Age are marked by?

The furthest advance of the continental ice sheets during the Ice Age is marked by terminal moraines, which are ridges of debris deposited at the glacier's edge. These moraines indicate the maximum extent of glacial coverage and can be found in various regions that were once covered by ice. Additionally, other geological features such as drumlins and glacial till also provide evidence of the ice sheets' advance and retreat.


What is an evidence that an area was once covered by a glacier?

loess deposits


Areas of the crust which are no longer covered with continental glaciers are probably still experiencing what?

Areas of the crust that were once covered by continental glaciers are likely still experiencing rebound, a process known as isostatic rebound. This is the slow uplift of land due to the removal of the weight of the ice sheets, causing the crust to rise.


What role might the sheets of ice have played in the creation of the Beringia land bridge?

most areas that were covered with thick continental ice sheets are still rising in elevation, due to what's called ''rebound''. so therefore the sheets of ice formed together to create a bridge for north America and Asia. the ice is now melted and has become ocean water that once again separates the two lands.

When the ice age ended the land once covered with ice was covered with?

When the ice age ended, the land once covered with ice was covered with newly exposed land and water from melting ice sheets. This led to the formation of new landscapes and ecosystems as vegetation began to grow in the previously glaciated areas.

What are examples of ice age sediments?

Examples of ice age sediments include till, glacial erratic rocks, moraines, and outwash plains. These sediments were deposited by glaciers during the last ice age and can be found in regions that were once covered by ice sheets.
