Identify the drainage pattern for the portion of the topo map that is generally covered by the Kalamazoo moraine (southwest part of map). Explain what evidence you used to determine this.

A sinuously curving, narrow ridge of coarse sand and gravel is called an esker. Eskers form along the channel of a meltwater stream that flows beneath a glacier, in an ice tunnel, or between ice walls beneath the glacier. As a glacier retreats, the steep-sided esker is left behind in a pattern roughly parallel to the path of the glacier.
What will be an ideal response?


Deranged! There isn’t an overall pattern of high ground to low ground.
