A. The electric power -- the numbers you are concerned with when it come to appliances somewhere else in the world is what we are concerned with here. In Argentina, they use power like in Europe. 220 volt at 50 Hz. I don't know about their wall plugs. In Brazil, they use power like in America, 120 volt at 60 Hz. So, your web camera could be a problem if it plugs into the wall. Check the label on the power converter 'brick' if the cam plugs into the wall, besides just the computer.

What are the names of the two glaciers that covered much of North America during the Pleistocene?
Q. What are the names of the two glaciers that covered much of North America during the Pleistocene? And which of the two was the larger glacier?
Asked by lamae85 - Sun Dec 3 18:08:56 2006 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I'm having difficulty finding these names. I seem to recall from Glacial Geology a Laurentide Ice Sheet and a Cordilleran Ice Sheet, however (both were still retreating when I was in grad school). The Laurentide sheet (if that was it's name!) was much the larger, covering much of North America, down to the Ohio River (across it, in some cases). The Cordilleran sheet (western NA) was amplified by numberous mountain or Alpine glaciers.
