What geological evidence do you have here in Alberta that glaciers once covered this province?

Glacial striations, erratic boulders, drumlins, and moraines are some geological evidence found in Alberta indicating past glaciation. These features were left behind by moving glaciers and are common throughout the province, especially in the Canadian Rockies and foothills regions.


Do glaciers originate on land?

Glaciers originate on land. They exists in both the northern and southern hemispheres and show evidence of past and present water flow.


How might land once covered by glaciers look different from places that never had glaciers?

Land once covered by glaciers might have features such as moraines, glacial erratics, and u-shaped valleys, as well as evidence of glaciation in the form of striations and polished bedrock. In comparison, places that never had glaciers may have smoother topography and lack these distinctive glacial landforms.


Why does India have evidence of glaciers thar are more than 240millionn years old eveb though its located on the eqatur?

India wasn't always near the equator. Infancy India was its own continent before crashing into Asia, creating the Hymilayas, home of the tallest mountains. But before India collided with Asia, it was very close to the south pole, which is cold. And the presence of glaciers is still there today. The actual glaciers melted away, but the path they left behind is still there, and that is what scientists are looking at.

Why India has evidence of glaciers that are more than 240 million years old even though it is located on the equator?

At one point the tectonic plates moved the glaciers to the equator. That's how the glaciers moved.


What is an example of an primary evidence?

Primary evidence consists of items that can be measured directly. If temperature readings are taken in the middle of a city for years and they keep increasing, that is primary evidence that the temperature is increasing in that city. If recent pictures taken of ice in Antarctica, Greenland, and the Himalayas are compared with those taken a century ago, they show the glaciers have decreased in size. That is primary evidence glaciers are shrinking. Any direct measurement is primary evidence.
