i hope this help sry but i cant explain because i really don't how and i'm in a time test but they do go some answers on quizlet.

Answer 2

1. The "lifting and removal" of "loose material" by wind is called wind erosion.

2. Deposits of windblown silt are called loess.

3. Results of the "last ice age":

• The occurrence of last ice age increased the mean sea level by approximately 120 metres.

• It also resulted in the development of Homo Sapiens (a more developed species of human beings that had by then adapted to harsh climates)

4. Following are a few glacial depositional features:

• Moraine: It is an unconsolidated mass of rocks and regolith deposited by a glacier.
• Kettle: A hole formed on a draining plane by glacial action is called a Kettle.
• Esker: It is a ridge that is formed when a glacier melts to leave back "stratified sand and gravel".
• Drumlin: A long trail-like hill formed of rock, sand and gravel deposited by a glacier is known as Drumlin
