Longville is part of the Northern Minnesota's glacial plain, which was flattened by glaciers during the most recent glacial advance.
12.
During the Pleistocene Period, the Illinoian glacial advance reached Montour County, although the Wisconsin glacial advance stopped slightly short of it.
13.
Major disturbance like a volcanic eruption or glacial advance and retreat leave behind soils that lack plants, animals or organic matter.

During the Pleistocene Period, the Illinoian glacial advance reached Montour County, although the Wisconsin glacial advance stopped slightly short of it.
15.
While the glacial advance became stagnant, the summer runoff formed a large lake covered parts of 13 counties in two states.
16.
The parent material of most prairie soil was distributed during the last glacial advance that began about 110, 000 years ago.
17.
The most likely explanation for this distribution is headwater capture, where pre-glacial watersheds were cut and reconfigured by glacial advance or retreat.
18.
The direction of glacial advance and recession set the alignment of the lakes and streams in a general northeast to southwest lineation.
19.
An ice sheet formed in New Zealand, covering all of the Southern Alps, where at least three glacial advances can be distinguished.
20.
The glacial retreat induced by this or any other process can be amplified by similar inverse positive feedbacks as for glacial advances.
