Article Evaluation: Mt. Greylock

-The article content seems relevant, but perhaps changing the order of the subsections would make better sense in describing the mountain.

-The geology section is not developed a lot, and although it goes into some detail it seems like there can be more added.

-Neutral article. One source is a day hike guide, not sure if it is the most reliable source.

-On the talk page, there is discussion on revisions on fact information, such as elevations and tower locations. Ratings say that it could use more sources.

Erosional processes [edit]
The slow and grinding movement of continental ice sheets and alpine glaciers across the landscape creates erosional landforms. Abrasion, plucking, and freeze-thaw action creates the U-shaped valley unique to glacial erosion. (*added a link here)

Other notable glacial features include cirque s, which are visible in mountains such as Mt. Katahdin and Crocker Mountain, indicative of glacial erosion. (*made correction and added links)

Pleistocene [edit]

Last Glacial Maximum

The strong Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation(AMOC) led to a warming period, which in part caused the retreat of the Laurentide Ice Sheet and a flux of meltwater increasing sea level an estimated 10 meters. This meltwater weakened the AMOC, leading to a decrease in temperature going into the Oldest Dryas approximately 19,000 years ago.

Oldest Dryas

During Laurentide Ice Sheet retreat, due to warming temperatures, meltwater at the terminal moraine formed glacial Lake Hitchcock, which defined geologic features in New England. Additionally, this period experienced significant seasonality due to weakened Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation.
