As you view slide #2, name three landforms that you see in the slide, which were caused by glacial erosion. Arête, Cirque, Horn
2. Explain how Pater Noster Lakes form.
The lake is formed by carving out the valleys beds and a single stream flow from one end to the other.
3. Slide #9 shows a stream channel associated with an ice sheet. What is the name of the deposit left behind by this type of stream?
The deposit that is left behind this stream is called alpine glacier.
4. What is the ablation zone of a glacier and why does the ice look “dirty”?
The ablation zone of a glacier is an ice sheet that is low in attitude and when the water melt the ice is less mass subduction. The ice look dirty because after the rain comes it just sit on piles and piles to were it builds up in the glaciers.

Why does the ice in the interior of a glacier look blue?
When snow falls the layers get deeper until it developed into a glaciers, because of the water from the snow falling.
6. What is sea ice?
Sea ice is a frozen ocean water that get really cold and danger in temperature.
7. Describe how raised beaches form in an area that has been glaciated. Beaches is formed by a bull eye shape and as the beaches raise the sea level it causing the raised beaches on top of the glaciers to stick.
8. The Chesapeake Bay is a drowned river valley. How do drowned river valleys form?
The river valley form by the raising sea level and the glaciers not really forming into an icy coat. Also, when the water run through the river, it constantly flowing out to it
