What represents a former meltwater channel or tunnel in glacial ice that was filled with sand and gravel?
A kettle hole is a depression or hole in a glacial outwash plain that is formed by the melting of a large block of glacial ice buried in drift.
After the last ice age stranded ice blocks left behind by the continental glacier melted and formed what?
As the ice blocks left behind by the continental glacier melted after the last ice age, they formed bodies of water known as kettle lakes. These kettle lakes are depressions in the landscape caused by the melting of the ice blocks, which were then filled with water from the melted ice.
How can movement of glaciers cause lakes to form?
As glaciers move, they can carve out deep depressions in the land called cirques. When the glacier retreats or melts, these cirques can become filled with water, forming lakes. Glaciers can also create moraines, which are piles of debris that dam up valleys, creating lakes behind them.
How do you calculate density of cyclohexen?
cyclohexane is a liquid so it may be filled in a flask of known volume and may be weighted out ... the ratio of mass and volume represents the density....
What does a filled circle represent in a pedigree?
A filled circle in a pedigree represents an individual who has the specific trait being studied (e.g., a genetic disorder or a specific characteristic). This individual carries at least one copy of the trait.
Does a esker represents a former meltwater channel or tunnel in glacial ice that was filled with sand and gravel?
Yes, an esker is a sinuous ridge formed by sediment deposited by meltwater flowing through a channel or tunnel within glacial ice. As the glacier retreats, the meltwater carries sand and gravel, which accumulate in the channel. Once the glacier has melted away, the remaining ridge of sediment is exposed, creating the distinctive landform known as an esker.

A man made channel filled with wate and used for boat or forirrigation is called a?
A man-made channel filled with water and used for boat traffic and'or irrigation is called a "canal."
Did Canada and the US make the Great lakes?
Land features, expecially the size of the great lakes, are generally formed by natural processes. In the case of the great lakes, they were formed by huge glaciers moving southward. Each lake represents where a glacier stopped moving. When the glacier melted away, there was a deep and wide hole left where its immense weight had carved into the Earth, and the melt water filled the hole.
Why is Iceland famous for the Jokulsarlon glacier?
Jökulsárlón (or Jokulsarlon) isn't a glacier.It is a lake, which formed in 1934 because of the glacial melting of Breiðamerkurjökull.(or Breidamerkurjokull in an anglicised version).The lón, which means lagoon, is filled with icebergs, which are calving off the Breiðamerkurjökull glacier, which is the reason it is a popular "famous" tourist destination.As you mentioned it, "the Jokulsarlon glacier" is the Vatnajökull glacier, the before mentioned Breiðamerkurjökull is a "icefall sub-glacier" of Vatnajökull, but they are the same block of ice.Vatnajökull is the largest glacier in Europe. These are some reasons to "why Iceland is famous for the Jokulsarlon glacier".
What creates a fjord?
A fjord is created by the movement of glaciers. They are narrow valleys that are filled with water and usually found in the extreme northern and southern hemispheres such as in Norway, Greenland and New Zealand.
What is broad valley?
On the south side of Laclavere Plateau in the Trinity Peninsula is a broad glacier-filled valley. "Broad Valley" is the descriptive name for this area.
A man made channel filled with water and used for boat transportation or for irrigation is called a what?
A canal.
A man-made channel filled with water and used for boat transportation or for irrigation is called a?
tributary
When was blue hole in Santa Rosa formed?
The Blue Hole in Santa Rosa, New Mexico, was formed during the last ice age, around 10,000 to 12,000 years ago. It was created when the area was filled with meltwater from glaciers and then collapsed, forming a sinkhole.
How the Great Lakes formed?
Have you ever wondered how scientists think the Great Lakes were formed? The answer to that starts with the ice age. During the last ice age, there were large masses of ice called glaciers. The last major glacier called the Laurentide formed. It covered almost all of Canada and extended to the United States as far as Chicago, Illinois. As it started melting and receding, it pushed against the land and made big empty spaces. All the water that was left behind, called meltwater, filled those holes which made the Great Lakes. (This may help your child with homework).They were formed by glaciers applying pressureto the ground so the ground weathered (broke down into small pieces) and the glacier melted and that is the water.
