Physical Geography of North America, Central America, & Caribbean — Quiz

Question 7 • World Geography (Full Year)

Read the passage. Some parts of North America contain large buildups of ice, snow, rock, and sediment that exist year-round. These buildups usually move slowly down hills or slopes. Over time, they can grow or shrink. Where is the most likely place to find the physical features described in the passage?

Answer
A
the Everglades
B
the Great Lakes
C
the Alaska Range
D
the Great Plains

Explanation

The passage describes glaciers: year-round masses of ice, snow, rock, and sediment that slowly move downhill and can grow or shrink. Glaciers are most likely to be found in the cold, high elevations of the Alaska Range. The Everglades and Great Plains are generally too warm or low, and the Great Lakes are lakes rather than a mountain range where glaciers are likely to form.
