Moraine

struggled with the decision of going. I chose to go. The Mountain is located in the Glacier Peak Wilderness in east Snohomish County near the Chelan County line out past Monte Cristo and Barlow Pass. These poles assisted me over rugged terrain of rock moraines, dusty high ridges, a crevassed glacier and finally a steep push in soft snow to the…

The book Touching the Void by Joe Simpson is a biography thriller, about climbers Joe Simpson and Simon Yates climbing experience in the Andes mountains. This book was…

Did you know that only 10% of the world is covered by glaciers? The Laurentide ice sheet was 13 million square miles. And it shaped Canada and Minnesota. In this paper, I will explain the effects of the Laurentide ice sheet on Minnesota's landscape. Glaciers may seem irrelevant to how we live now because in Minnesota there hasn't been a glacier for a long time but, they formed our state. The last glacial advance start of the Des Moines lobe was about 75,000 years ago. The last glacial…

gouged and quarried into a U-shaped trough with steep walls. Later on to 30,000 years ago,A smaller ice sheet, advanced into the Valley and terminated near Bridalveil Fall. Lastly 10,000 years ago, the last Valley glacier hat melted and its terminal moraine has dammed the Valley to create a shallow lake, Lake Yosemite.Lake Yosemite eventually filled in with silt, leaving todays level Valley floor. Today our park is filled with tourists looking at the nice features the park is filled with. For…

the Ice Age, there was a valley called the Hudson Valley. During the Ice Age a glacier scraped through the rock, which gouged out 240 meters of rock. The sediments got removed from their previous location and deposited in a huge pile, a terminal moraine in Long Island. The sediments acted as a dam when the glacier melted, which trapped glacial melt water, which formed the Glacial Lake of Albany. The Glacial Lake of Hitchcock began to form when the ice margin located at Rocky Hill CT, dumped a…

Glaciers were once present in Minnesota thousands of years ago, and as they retreated, they left behind large amounts of glacial meltwater and various landforms still present to this day. A glacier is a massive piece of ice that completely destroys everything in its path. A glacier is formed when snow is present in a location for a long period of time, long enough to freeze all together to be conjoined into a massive chunk of ice. Glaciers are usually formed on a high elevation location. When on…

Marmut on our way to Annapurna Base Camp. As we were gradually moving towards our destination, the vegetation shifted from tropical forest to alpine terrain with grasslands on rocky mountains. The last stretch to Annapurna Base Camp was a walk on moraines. As we reached Annapurna Base Camp, we couldn’t stop ourselves from glaring to those beautiful snowcapped mountains right in front of us. We were surrounded by various peaks of Annapurna Massif as well as other mountains like Gandharvachuli and…

helped him to get through the tough times when he needed support and that is what I made sure I did every time. To make sure I was able to help others I learned I had to help myself first. I received my Associate’s degree in Biology from Moraine Valley but I knew the next step was receiving my Bachelor’s degree in Nursing. This is why I applied to Resurrection University because my inspiration comes from wanting to help others. I enjoy being there for people when they are in times…

Michigan, particularly the Upper Peninsula, is rich in natural resources. Both deciduous and coniferous forests flourish, as well as the plants and wildlife that thrive in these habitats. Mining is popular in the area because of its rich mineral resources. Best of all, because the U.P. is nestled right in the middle of the Great Lakes, there is no shortage of fresh water. The water cycle is critical to the life of the area. As seen in the following image, during the cycle the water…
