31. The closest marine coastal environment where glacial melt water could have been found at the time of Kennewick Man was Alaska. 32. This wide, flat valley serves as a channel for melt water from the Rh�ne Glacier, a remnant from the Ice Age. 33. Now the melt water freezes on top, while water from the under-ice pool freezes to the bottom of the ice sheet. 34. Heavy rain and melt water caused the worst floods in Albania in nearly 50 years, as 2, 500 homes being evacuated. 35. Tunnel valleys were formed by subglacial erosion by water and served as subglacial drainage pathways carrying large volumes of melt water . 36. Melt water from the polar ice caps flowing along ocean bottoms tends to maintain a constant geothermal gradient throughout the Earth's surface.37. The models suggest that subsurface melt water layers, and interfacial water could form with surface temperatures as low as 180�K (-90�C ). 38. The added precipitation increased runoff and the erosive ability of streams ( especially from spring melt water and flash floods in summer ). 39. The glacial melt waters contributed to rising ocean waters, which flooded the land and filled the river valleys that make up Great Bay today. 40. They discharge the melt water into storm drains and sewer systems where the water is treated and released back into the local water systems.
