Labs
12 & 13


This week we will be going over two short labs with very different processes;
Glaciers and Eolian Landforms.
I realize
that some of you may never have witnessed snowfall before, but as a Northerner,
and
a fan of the Mountains, I can appreciate the beauty and power of glaciers,
and how they
have
affected our landscapes.
Some
of you may never have been in a truly arid environment, like the desert,
but you will
learn
that a large portion of our country, and the world, falls in arid climate
zones. Here
Eolian
processes dominate, and physical processes are superior to chemical ones.
