After the first two groups have reported to the class, the third group will use the first two groups materials and their own to explain the interconnections. A brief description of possible connections is include with the tangible table below. Rivers and glaciers are made of water. Rivers and glaciers flow. Both erode rock.
Gravity pulls both down hill.
Olympic's glaciers and rivers depend on heavy winter snowfall. Rivers and Glaciers will be effected by climate change. Interconnection Water stored in the glacial ice is slowly released as the sun melts the top of the ice and as heat from the earth melts the bottom of the glacier. As a result, even during the driest summer months rivers continue to flow with glacial meltwater. Insects, fish, mammals, birds, amphibians and forests all depend on glacial meltwater.
