What glaciers create cirques on sides of mountains?
alpine glaciers
Is a glaciers a mager land form?
Glaciers are not major landforms because they aren't land. Glaciers do, however, create landforms
How do converging continental plates create mountain ranges?
Mountain ranges are created at convergent plate boundaries. That is where two plates, either ocean and continental or continental and continental come together.
What landforms do glaciers create?
THey create chichks of glaich and loves of rods
What are some landforms created by withdrawing glaciers?
one is a valley.......I don't know the others
Why do continental glaciers smooth the landscape and alpine glaciers create ragged landscape?
I only know that alpine glaciers can carve deep u-shaped valleys in the mountains.
What glaciers create cirques on sides of mountains?
alpine glaciers
What type of glaciers can create cirques on the side of mountains?
valley glaciers
What types of tectonic setting creates the tallest mountains on the land?
Continental/Continental convergant boundaries create the tallest mountains on land.
Why continental glaciers smooth the landscape and alpine glaciers create a rugged landscape?
beacause alpine glaciers are bad for the enviromental energy called phleux that makes chemicals interact with each other smoothing the landscape
How do volcanoes create glaciers?
Some volcanoes are very tall mountains, reaching altitudes where temperatures rarely climb above freezing. Snow that falls on these mountains does not melt but instead piles up, eventually forming glaciers.

When 2 plates with continental crust collide happens to the continental crust?
Sometimes, they buckle and create mountains. More often than not, the less dense plate slips under the more dense plate.
What types of tectonic force create mountains?
The type of tectonic forces that create mountains are called converging plates. As two continental plates push together, the stress forces them both upwards. Because of this the Himalayas are still growing.
