Where are tilted blocks of rock commonly found?
where two continental plates collide
Describe two basic processes of glacial erosion?
The two processes are abrasion and plucking.What processes lead to glacial erosion? Describe them.The two main processes that lead to glacial erosion are plucking and abrasion. Plucking is the process by which a glacier picks off rocks as it blocks over the land. The rock fragments freeze to the bottom of the glacier, gouging and scratching the bedrock as the glacier advances in the process of abrasion.
What are large blocks of rock under the earth's crust?
What are large blocks of rock under the earth's crust?
What blank inside the stratosphere blocks ultraviolent radiation?
The ozone layer blocks ultraviolet radiation.
What are volcanic blocks?
Volcanic Blocks are solid, irregularly shaped lumps of hardened lava, often large and boulder like in appearance; some rare volcanic blocks may weigh many tons!
After the last ice age stranded ice blocks left behind by the continental glacier melted and formed what?
After the last ice age stranded ice blocks left behind by the continental glacier melted and formed lakes.
What process is it when Rock fragments freeze to the bottom of a glacier and are then carried away when the glacier moves?
The process in which rock fragments freeze to the bottom of a glacier and are then carried away when the glacier moves is called plucking. After the last ice age, stranded ice blocks left behind by the continental glacier melted and formed kettles.
The process in which fragments freeze to the bottom of a glacier and then are carried away when the glaciers are moved is called?
The process in which rock fragments freeze to the bottom of a glacier and are then carried away when the glacier moves is called plucking. After the last ice age, stranded ice blocks left behind by the continental glacier melted and formed kettles.
What is the loosening and lifting of blocks of rock by glacier?
Plucking
Are kettles volcanic craters?
No. Kettles are associated with the retreat of glaciers. They form when blocks of ice break off the front of a retreating glacier. These blocks prevent sediment from being deposited underneath them, leaving behind depressions when they melt.
What is the name of the glacier that has frozen to bedrock?
The name of a glacier that has frozen to bedrock is rock glacier. A rock glacier is formed by angular blocks of frozen rock that form in the valley of glaciers.
Holes formed by huge blocks of glacier that have been burrowed into the ground are called?
Holes that form by huge blocks of glacier and that have been burrowed into the ground are called kettles. There are many types of holes.
What are holes formed by blocks of glacier that have been burrowed into the ground?
kettles
Who is Alfred Wegener and what was his Hypothesis about how Earth's continents have moved?
Alfred Wegener was a scientist who proposed the theory of continental drift and the idea of isostasy. The idea of isostasy stated that continental blocks drifted upon oceanic blocks (continental blocks had a lower density than oceanic blocks, which explained why it was higher than oceanic blocks).
Holes formed by huge blocks of glacier that have been burrowed into the ground called?
Holes that form by huge blocks of glacier and that have been burrowed into the ground are called kettles. There are many types of holes.
What holes are formed by huge blocks of glacier that have been burrowed into the ground?
kettles
Which formation occurs when huge blocks of ice driven into the by the weight of the glacier melt?
