What are three discoveries made by spacecraft that have been sent to study mars?
Evidence of ancient water channels, lakes, and glaciers on Mars, suggesting the presence of liquid water in the planet's past. Identification of methane in the Martian atmosphere, hinting at potential microbial life or geological activity. Detection of diverse minerals and geological formations, providing insights into Mars' geological history and potential habitability.
How are continental and valley glaciers?
Continental glaciers are thicker and larger. Valley glaciers are formed on mountains; continental glaciers are formed on flat land.
Why are glaciers slow?
glaciers are very big
What are the names of Irelands glaciers?
there are no glaciers in Ireland
How is a continental and valley glaciers the same?
Continental glaciers and valley glaciers are both types of glaciers that form from accumulated snowfall. They both flow under the influence of gravity, albeit in different directions. While continental glaciers cover vast areas like an ice sheet, valley glaciers are confined to mountain valleys and flow down through them.
How many syllables did glaciers have?
There are two syllables in the word 'glaciers'.
