Quaternary Glacio Fluvial History of the Upper Midwest Using Anaglyph Stereo Maps
Students examine the anaglyph stereo map and use textures to generate a surficial geology map of the Upper Midwest. They can then interpret the textures in terms of landforms, geomorphic features, and earth-surface processes, as well as...

Ga Virtual Learning: Geology: Glaciers
In this interactive tutorial, you will learn about glaciers - rivers of ice. Learn about the features caused by moving glaciers.
National Snow and Ice Data Center
National Snow and Ice Data Center: All About Glaciers
Extensive information about glaciers. Tells about the life of a glacier, how they form, how they impact the surrounding areas, and what happens when glaciers stop growing. Includes a photo gallery, and links to scientific research on...

Ck 12: Fourth Grade Science: Earth Science: Erosion and Deposition by Glaciers
[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Describes how continental and valley glaciers form, explains how glaciers cause erosion, and identifies landforms that are deposited by glaciers.
Science Struck
Science Struck: Understanding Deposition in Geology
Explains what is meant by the deposition of sediments by wind and water and provides examples of the resulting landforms.

Serc: Mapping the Glaciers
In this activity, students will use Minnesota Geological Survey 3-D maps of the upper Midwest to trace the outlines of where they believe glaciers may have affected North America. They will identify landforms that resulted from glacial...
