It just goes with time. At first, I used the preview function a lot.

A Jökulhlaups is an outburst flood caused by excess glacial meltwater overflowing.

Yep.

What is the diffrence between a Roche Moutonnee and a Drumlin? (list at least 3)

Click to Show Answer

1) Drumlin= depositional landforms, Roche Moutonnee= erosional landforms. 2) Drumlin= smooth surfaces both up and downstreams, Roche Moutonnee= smooth surface upstream only. 3) Drumlin is less erosional resistant than Roche Moutonnee

Assuming that's right^^, name a consequence of Neoproterozoic snowball Earth.

EDIT:Ok, yeah, I give up on the hide function. It doesn't like me for some reason...
EDIT2: Yayyy!! It worked!!

It would warm the Earth due to the severe increase in greenhouse gasses? I'm not sure of this one.

Yeah, that works. Your turn! (And, thank you for the tip!! It might be helpful for me to learn how to use these functions )

Define mass-balance. What does it mean when it is positive? Negative?

[gaun22]

Click to Show Answer

Mass balance is the difference between accumulation and ablation. If a glacier loses more ice than it receives, it will be in negative mass balance and will recede. Glaciers gaining more mass than they lose will be in positive mass balance and will advance.
