Do glaciers cause chemical weathering when they scrape rocks?
yes it is and it is one of the major eroson.
Is it erosion when glaciers scrape rocks as the glacier moves across the earth's surface?
Yes, because when rocks or ice that are natural rub against each other is called erosion
What is glacier weathering?
Ice erosion is caused by glaciers that move very slowly with the help of gravity. When the glaciers move they scrape at the rock. This scraping plows, files, and carries the removed sediment elsewhere. The erosion caused when the glacier melts is considered water erosion.
What effect did glaciers have on Illinois?
One thing they did as they moved was scrape the land until they stopped and left deposits about two thirds down the state. Northern and central Illinois are rather flat, but southern Illinois has beautiful limestone cliffs, gorges and lakes. The same thing occurred in Indiana at the same time.

Do dogs have scent glands in their paws?

How do glaciers contribute to sedimentation?
As glaciers pass over land they erode it, changing its features. Rocks frozen in the glaciers scrape across the bedrock, wearing it downand making scratches called striations. Eroded sediments get pushed in front of a glacierand piled up along its sides. These are called moraines. When glaciers begin to melt and retreat, the meltwater forms channels and deposites. Sediment in new locations. Large rocks called erratics can be left behind, many kilometersfrom their source.
What is scrape file?
you scrape the file to get desired information
How does glacier erosion occur?
Glaciers can cause erosion because they move, though they do so slowly. As they move, often only a few inches a year, they scrape away and can gouge out the land, and then leave behind morass, which can be made up of left behind bits of rock or whatever happened to be in the glacier.
