What is a fan-shaped deposit at the mouth of a river?
I believe that is from BC Science 7 and the answer is a delta.
What is the triangular or fan shaped deposit of sediment that forms where a river empties into an ocean or lake?
silt This trianguar deposit of sediment where a river empties into an ocean is called a delta.
What A cone shaped deposit that rises from the floor of a cave is know as a?
Cone shaped deposits that rise from the floor of a cave are called Stalagmites. This is easy to remember as it contains a letter 'G' as does ground. While a Stalactite, which hangs down from a cave ceiling, contains a letter 'C.'
What is an aluveal fan?
Alluvial fans usually created as flowing water interact with mountains. It is a triangle-shaped deposit of sand, gravel and smaller pieces of sediment. There is also a type of alluvial fan that can be found underwater which is the subaqueous fan.
Does A U-shaped valley indicate that glacial erosion has taken place?
A U-shaped valley is formed by the scouring action of advancing glaciers.Please see the related link for more information.u-shaped valleys are formed by glacial erosion.u-shaped valleys often begin their life as v-shaped valleys with rivers in. the glacier follows the exsisting path, deepening, widening and eventually straightening the path. u-shaped valleys are also known as glacial troughs.the process of plucking frezes bits of rock to the glacier, as the ice moves the rocks are plucked out. the pieces of rocks or moraine are pulled along, they smooth and erode the walls and floor of the valley by the process of abrasion. the valley widens over time.after the glacier has retreated or melted a u-shaped valley is formed, usually with steep sides and a realitivly flat floor.for examples of u-shaped valleys type in 'u-shaped valleys' in Google images. The lake district in England has good examples.

What features forms by glacial erosion?
Glacial erosion gouges 'U' shaped (cross-section) of valleys, and deposit moraine (mounds of the rocks and debris) as they melt.
What is the description of stalagmites?
stalactite- an icicle-shaped mineral deposit, usu. calcite or aragonite, hanging from the roof of a cavern, formed from the dripping of mineral-rich water. stalagmite- a conical mineral deposit, usu. calcite or aragonite, built up on the floor of a cavern, formed from the dripping of mineral-rich water.
Small mound formed by the deposit of rocks from a melting glacier?
moraine, or perhaps more specifically a Drumlin, which sometimes form an egg-shaped landscape. A snow avalanche from a hillside can carry with it entrained rocks, which when the snow melts form a small hillock at the foot of the hill, but conspicuously made of moraine rocks and debris.
What features are formed by ice erosion?
Ice erosion can create features such as cirques (bowl-shaped hollows on mountainsides), arêtes (sharp ridges between two cirques), and horns (sharp peaks formed by glaciers eroding multiple sides). These features are commonly found in glaciated mountainous areas.

Are glaciers agents of erosion?
Yes. Look at any glacial (u-shaped) valley and the terminal moraine at the end where the glacier melts.
