Yes. Your turn!

If all of the ice melted in the world, on average, how much would the seas rise? Two answers are acceptable IMO (multiple competitions have had different answers/both answers accepted). The answerer could clarify the situation if need be.

If all ice on land melted, the sea level would rise by approximately 70m (do you want my source?)

I would like to see your source, as that is not one of the answers I've had before.

Ok, I was thinking of a different question with the multiple answers, but on tests I've seen it as 65 m, so 70 isn't far off. Your turn!

Okay!

Describe a roche moutonnee. Be sure to distinguish between the characteristics of the lee and stoss sides of one, and describe what its orientation indicates about the direction of glacier flow

A diagram will help your answer

a roche moutonnee is sometimes referred to as a sheep back mountain. a rock hill is shaped by the passage of a glacier up the smooth gradual side and down the steep, rough, plucked and cliff girt side. the upstream surface is often marked with striations. the abrasion on the stoss side and plucking on the lee side produces an asymmetrical erosional form. the steep side is not facing the approaching glacier, basically the opposite of a drumlin.

What do you guys mean by butterfly? "Aw butterfly"? "He owns everyone's butterfly"?
I'm a SciOly newbie, is that like slang for something? It sounds kinda funny.
Can anyone explain to me this meaning and how it got started?

Um butterfly is just what all the cuss words get filtered to. Anything with a cuss word in it automatically gets filtered to "butterfly"

So if I drop the f-bomb right now pigeon it appears as "butterfly"

I just cuss a lot
