Lab Report 9
Shaping Earth’s Surface: Arid and Glacial
Landscapes

1. Name the area of the United States that is characterized by fault-block

n
mountains with streams that drain into adjoining basins?

tio
                                                                                                                                   

2. Identify the feature shown by the arrows in Figure 9.15 .

3. List some of the prominent features found in a mountainous desert

landscape (see Figure 9.2 ).

                                                                                                                                   
                                                                                                                                   

4. Toward what general direction does the landscape slope downward on the
Antelope Peak topographic map (see Figure 9.4 )?

5. If you were working in the field, explain how you would determine whether
a glacial feature is an end moraine or an esker.
                                                                                                                                   

                                                                                                                                   
                                                                                                                                   
                                                                                                                                   

6. In the following space, sketch a simplified map view (an area viewed from
above) of the Whitewater, Wisconsin, topographic map (Figure 9.10 ).

n
Include and label the outwash plain, end moraine, drumlins, and a few

tio
kettles and kettle lakes.

7. What reason did you give for the formation of Turquoise Lake on the Holy

Cross, Colorado, topographic map (Figure 9.13 )?

                                                                                                                                   

                                                                                                                                   

8. Use Figure 9.16 , an image of Alaska’s Bear Glacier, to complete the

following.

a. Identify the erosional feature labeled A.

b. Feature B is a ridge composed of till. Is it more likely an esker or an

end moraine?                

c. When this photo was taken, is it more likely that Bear Glacier was

advancing or retreating? Provide evidence for you answer.
