The famous Matterhorn in Switzerland displays three types of glacial erosion: 1  Cirques are created when glaciers erode the mountainside, scouring into it and creating rounded hollows with steep uphill faces, shaped like tilted bowls. 2  ArÃªtes are jagged, narrow ridges created where the back walls of two glaciers meet, eroding the ridge on both sides.
Interest Rates for Federal Student Loans. Federal student loans have interest rates ranging from 5 percent to 7.9 percent, with the standard being 6.8 percent. Interest rates are normally fixed for the lifetime of a loan; even though rates are re-evaluated by Congress every few years, the interest rates on your existing loans should not be affected.
Weighted Average Interest Rate Calculator. This simple Weighted Average Interest Rate Calculator allows student loan borrowers to calculate the weighted average interest rate of their student loans. A weighted average interest rate is used when consolidating federal student loans with a Direct Consolidation Loan. For a Direct Consolidation Loan, the weighted average of the interest rates of all loans will be rounded up to the nearest one-eighth of a percentage point. Student Loan Hero logo Open mobile menu
