Question

1)The formation of this type of drainage pattern is dependent on the variable discharge and high sediment load of the river (as we discussed last week). The volume of water flowing down a glacier river changes from morning to night, and from season to season, and this change effects the amount of sediment the river can carry. Why does the discharge of the river change so dramatically over such short time scales?

2)What do we call the water-deposited sediments located in front of the glacier?

3)How do ice-deposited and water-deposited sediments physically differ from one another? (This difference is crucial for identifying glacially formed features.)

Explanation / Answer

A) Climate change will have a large effect on the hydrology and water resources of Finland. By the 2080's average yearly temperature in Finland may increase 3-7
