Students finished the drawing from the Glacial Landforms and Moraines drawings. Whatever was not finished was due for homework tomorrow.

Students today drew pictures to help determine the zones of accumulation and wastage in a glacier. We also drew pictures of cirques, horns, and valley glaciers to help see how glaciers change landscapes. Tomorrow you need your colored pencils/markers again as we finish the drawings.

Today, we learned how to classify glacial debris and the locations of the glacial debris types. Also, the names of the items in the zone of wastage were learned.

Factors in glacial erosion, types of glacial erosion and the effects that glaciers have on the landscape were discussed and shown on a powerpoint for this chapter. More notes to come from the powerpoint.
