About: Drift Prairie

An Entity of Type: settlement, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Drift Prairie is a geographic region of North Dakota and South Dakota. In North Dakota, the Drift Prairie is the transition zone between two zones.The gently rolling hills and shallow lakes were formed by glacial action, while the Badlands to the west are characterized by the lack of this action, and the Red River Valley to the east was a lake bed. This distinction causes the area considered as Drift Prairie to overlap somewhat with the Missouri Plateau, another of North Dakota's distinct geographic regions, but the Drift Prairie also includes the Souris River basin. Prairie grasses and wheat grow there making it a perfect place for ranchers. The prairie is filled with drift. Drift is soil consisting of clay, sand, and gravel.

dbo:abstract
  • Die Drift Prairie ist eine Prärielandschaft in North Dakota und South Dakota. Sie liegt zwischen dem Tal des Red River of the North im Osten und den Hochebenen Coteau du Missouri und Coteau des Prairies im Westen und Süden. Im Norden der Drift Prairie liegen die und die kanadische Grenze. Die Landschaft entstand in der letzten Eiszeit, als die Gletscher nach Süden ausbreiteten. Die Moränenlandschaft besteht aus flachen Hügeln und Seen und gehört damit zur Prairie Pothole Region. Die Drift Prairie ist eine Mischgrasprärie und bildet den Übergang zwischen der feuchteren Hochgrasprärie im Osten und der trockeneren Kurzgrasprärie der Great Plains. Sie bildet den US-amerikanischen Teil der sogenannten Northern Mixed Grasslands oder Northern Glaciated Plains. Die größten Flüsse in der Drift Prairie sind der Souris River, der Sheyenne River und der James River. Einige Seen, wie der Devils Lake, haben keinen Abfluss, sind also endorheisch und salzig. (de)

In South Dakota, most of the eastern state is covered by the Drift Prairie. The Missouri River cuts through the center of the state. To the east of the river are low hills and lakes formed by glaciers referred to as the Drift Prairie. The area is bordered on the east by the Minnesota River Valley and on the west by the James River Basin. (en)
