Glaciers and Dryland(Eolian) Landforms

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.
