Exploring Glacial Features in Wisconsin

What time period did the continental glaciers shape Wisconsin's landscape?

• 100,000 to 90,000 years ago

• 10,000 to 5,000 years ago

• 25,000 to 15,000 years ago

• 50,000 to 40,000 years ago

What tool do scientists use to identify glacial features from above?

• Seismic charts

• Weather maps

• Topographic maps

• Satellite images

What is the purpose of the quads plugin in Google Earth?

• To simulate glacial movements

• To view topographic maps as a layer

• To enhance satellite imagery

• To view weather patterns

What shape do drumlins typically have?

• Triangular

• Teardrop

• Circular

• Square

How can you enhance the visibility of landscape contours in Google Earth?

• By using a night mode

• By increasing the contrast

• By setting the time of day to early morning or before sunset

• By adjusting the brightness

What is a practical way to view drumlins in detail without flying over them?

• Reading a geology textbook

• Visiting a local museum

• Checking the gray relief button on the quad plugin

• Using a drone

What marks the location of the front of glaciers in Kettle Moraine State Forest?

• Sand dunes

• Rugged ridges

• Deep valleys

• Flat plains

How were kettle lakes formed?

• From giant chunks of ice that broke off and got buried

• By tectonic movements

• By erosion from wind

• By volcanic activity

What is the benefit of using Google Earth for studying glacial features?

• It simulates future glacial changes

• It offers historical data on glacial movements

• It allows for a 3D view of the landscape

• It provides real-time weather updates

What is the suggested activity after locating glacial features using online tools?

• Conducting a survey

• Creating a digital presentation

• Planning a field trip to explore them from the ground

• Writing a research paper
