As the glaciers in north america melted, the runoff formed a large lake in what is now southern manitoba, eastern north dakota, and western minnesota. called lake agassiz, it was larger than all of the current great lakes combined. the present lake winnipeg is a remnant of this ancient lake. the city of winnipeg is located on the ancient lakebed. what kinds of soils would you expect to find beneath the city, and what would be their likely geologic origin? what would be the typical engineering characteristics of these soils?

1.lacustrine clays and silts

2.The likely geologic origin will be water disposition

3. strength and compressibility

Explanation:

What kinds of soils would you expect to find beneath the city

Answer->lacustrine clays and silts

what would be their likely geologic origin

-The likely geologic origin will be water disposition.

disposition can be defined as  a situation whereby a material transported by water is deposited.

What would be the typical engineering characteristics of these soils?

The engineering characteristics will be found in its strength and compressibility. It has the capacity to withstand external force.

They are grainlike with dimension of about 0.06mm, Sedimentary in property and can be used for engineering activities
