Which of the following is NOT a criteria
that must be met in order to form a
glacier?
11. Because glaciers are made of smooth False

and are not very effective at eroding the
substrate?
12. Most hot deserts ____________. Cool off greatly at night, because of sparse veg-

13. Subtropical deserts form from? The pattern of convection cells in the atmosphere
at low latitudes
14. The desert is such an extreme environ- False
ment, no life can be sustained within it.
15. Polar deserts form from? The pattern of convection cells in the atmosphere
at high latitudes
16. Drywash = Dry, steep sided, stream True
channel with polished walls, created by
dried up flash floods in which sand
laden water polished the walls and cre-
ated grooves.
17. Coastal deserts form from? Interactions with cold ocean currents
