1C. Based on what you noted in the previous question, what happened to the glacier when it reached Point A?
Exercise 2: Question 9: Multiple choice NOTE: THIS QUESTION IS MODIFIED FROM THE BOOK (because we have to use a different map in the online setting). Pay close attention to the changes, particularly in the dates that the map was made! In 1928 the outermost edge (nose) of the Nisqually Glacier was touching the bridge marked with the red dot. (The Nisqually Glacier can be found in the south central part of the glacier, flowing south, in the enhanced area of the map) Our map (below) was made in 1975. Find the nose of the Nisqually Glacier on our map. The nose represents the most southern extent of the glacier in 1975. How far did the glacier retreat between 1928 and 1975 (in feet)? 1mile-5280ft This question is asking for a map distance NOT an elevation! Use the bar scale provided! 400011 10.560 52801 201
