List the different types of processes mentioned in the animation and explain whether it an example of weathering, erosion, or deposition. Describe how and where each type of weathering, erosion, or deposition occurs.
Explain what an outwash plain is and what types of materials are deposited there? Where did they originally come from?

(here is the transcript of the animation)
Glaciers are frozen rivers of ice, and they have immense power to change the landscape, carving out mountains as they flow downhill.

Glaciers shape the landscape in three ways. Water flowing along the bottom of the glacier seeps down into the bedrock, and when it freezes, it opens up cracks.
This is known as Freeze-Thaw weathering. Pieces then come loose and get pulled along with the glacier. This is called Plucking.

These loose pieces scrape along the bottom like sandpaper, taking more rocks with them, and smoothing out the bedrock. This is called abrasion.

As the glacier flows down the mountain, it gets warmer and starts to melt, and anything that doesn't melt gets left behind on the ground. This called deposition.

Deposition at the end of a glacier is called a terminal morraine. Often an outwash plain occurs in front of a terminal morraine where sands and gravel sediments are left behind

You decide that the introduction should also discuss the extremophiles that are referred to as the archaea. these single-cell organisms are considered "extremophiles" due to their ability to survive and reproduce in environmental conditions that would be hostile for most living organisms. archaea species have been isolated from highly acidic sulfur springs, ocean floor thermal vents with temperatures that exceed boiling, and subarctic ice well below freezing. while still considered to be prokaryotic, the archaea have numerous differences that place them apart from the bacteria. choose the characteristics that separate the archaea from other prokaryotic cells. select all that apply. view available hint(s) select all that apply. archaea lack true peptidoglycan in their cell walls. the morphology of the cell is rigid and is geometric in shape, similar to a sphere or cylinder. the cytoplasmic membrane lipids of archaea have branched or ringform hydrocarbon chains. all currently identified and characterized archaea have been linked as the causative agent to an animal or human disease.

Some species of wasps are social. the queen starts a colony from scratch each spring. she builds a small nest, and lays and raises a group of female workers. the workers enlarge the nest while the queen continues to lay eggs. unfertilized eggs become males that mate with newly hatched females. all of the wasps except the newly fertilized females die by the summer. which best describes this behavior? a)it is beneficial only to the males that do not fertilize eggs. b)it is beneficial only to the female workers that are not fertilized. c)it is beneficial to each one of the individual colony members. d)it is beneficial to the whole species, but not to all of the individual members.
