Module F

Describe how a glacier affected the surrounding land in this valley.

• As the glacier moved across the valley it deposited rock and boulders that it transported from distant areas.

• It eroded soil rock and large boulders from the valley floor and carried them off and deposited them at other distant locations.

• It made it winter.

• It made the sky more blue.

The diagram shows the path of a river. Structure A is an oxbow lake, which was originally part of the river. This kind of lake can form when sediments build up and change the path of a river.

What are the two main processes that formed this river and lake?

• erosion and deposition

• erosion and chemical weathering

• deposition and physical weathering

• chemical weathering and physical weathering

Whether you live in a tropical climate, a temperate climate, or a polar climate, you share something with the rest of the world—your climate is influenced by the latitude where you live. Which best describes why latitudes closer to the equator have warmer climates?

• Latitudes closer to the equator are at lower elevations than latitudes away from the equator.

• Latitudes closer to the equator receive more solar energy than latitudes away from the equator.

• Latitudes closer to the equator are nearer to ocean currents than latitudes away from the equator.

• Latitudes closer to the equator get more wind carrying energy in the form of heat than latitudes away from the equator.
