Compare contrast How wind and glaciers abrade rock?
Wind abrades rock by sandblasting, this is the process in which wind causes the blowing of millions of grains of sand, which bump across the surface of rocks.
What are the similarities and differences in how wind and glaciers abrade rock?
Wind abrades rock by sandblasting, this is the process in which wind causes the blowing of millions of grains of sand, which bumps across the surface of rocks' surface. it can also happen due to deflation, which is when wind removes the top layer of fine sediment/soil to cause desert pavement (a cheaper way to form pavement☺).Glaciers, however, abrade rock by simply using Gravity. when enough ice builds up on a slope, the ice begins to move downhill. The steeper the slope, the faster the glacier. As glaciers move fowad, the material that they picked up scratch and abrade the rock and soil underneath the glacier, which causes erosion.
How do glaciers erode rock?
sedimentary rock
What is the name of the glacier that has frozen to the bedrock?
Glaciers that have frozen to rock are sometimes known as rock glaciers. They can also be referred to as a mountain glacier or an alpine glacier. The study of glaciers is called glaciology.
How is glacial drift related to glaciers reshaping landscapes?
the rock material and deposited by glaciers

How does wind and glacier abrade rock?
Wind and glaciers abrade rock with their brute force.

Compare and Contrast different types of Sedimentary Rocks?
Sedimentary rock is a kind of rock unto itself.
What factors affect the rate at which rocks abrade in running water?
Answer: Age of the rock, and speed of the water moving, hardness of rock, how much rock there is
How do glaciers erode rock?
sedimentary rock
What effect does the angularity of rock chips have on the abrasion rate?
More angular rock chips will abrade slower than smooth, round rock chips.
What effect do you think the angularity of rock chips has an abrasion rate?
makes em abrade faster
Are glaciers rock coverd in snow?
No. Glaciers are slowly moving masses of ice.
How do glaciers and rivers make new rock types?
Glaciers and rivers carry eroded rock material to a place of deposition where the sediments can lithify into sedimentary rock.

How did glaciers form Canada's landscape?
Glaciers slowly deform and flow due to stresses induced by their weight, creating crevasses, seracs, and other distinguishing features.They also abrade rock and debris from their substrate to create landforms such as cirques and moraines.If you can picture yourself standing at the base of one of these that covered North America and look upward: they are a mile high. The weight would be about 1.4 trillion tons.
