How are landscapes mostly formed?
The landscape is mostly formed by the
Is glacier canyon a real glacier?
No, a glacier canyon is not a real glacier. A glacier canyon is a canyon formed by the movement of a glacier over time, carving out the landscape as it flows.
How is a proglacial lake formed?
A proglacial lake is formed when glaciers melt, creating a body of water in front of the glacier. As the glacier retreats, it can leave behind depressions in the landscape that fill with meltwater. These lakes can also be dammed by moraines, which are accumulations of debris deposited by the glacier. The combination of glacial melt and the physical features left by the glacier leads to the formation of these lakes.
What is a drumlin caused by?
A drumlin is a long mound of glacial till that is formed by the movement of a glacier. As the glacier flows over the landscape, it reshapes the underlying material into these elongated, teardrop-shaped landforms.
How are glaciers landscapes different from landscapes formed by water?
Glacier landscapes are characterized by U-shaped valleys, rugged terrain, and sharp peaks due to the slow movement and erosion of ice. Landscapes formed by water, such as rivers and streams, typically have V-shaped valleys, gentle slopes, and rounded features due to the faster flow of water and erosion. Glaciers tend to create more rugged and angular landscapes compared to water.
How is a body of water formed by glacier movement?
well, a body of water is formed by glacier movement because while the glacier is moving parts of it is falling in the ocean. The glaciers are much colder then the water when the glacier falls water is formed in the water because of the melting ice.
What is alpine glaciers?
An alpine glacier is a glacier that FORMED on a mountain. It doesn't have to BE on a mountain, just formed on one.
What is corrie on a glacier?
A corrie, also known as a cirque, is a bowl-shaped depression formed by glacial erosion on a glacier. It is typically found at the head of a glacier where ice movement has carved out the bowl-shaped feature. Corries are important in shaping glacial landscapes and can eventually fill with water to form lakes called tarns.
Was the great salt lake formed by a glacier?
yes from the cintinental period a glacier swept acrost and made a hole and the glacier melted and formed the salt lakes
How was yosemite formed?
By a glacier

What is a glacier formed lake?
A tarn (or corrie loch) is a mountain lake or pool, formed in a cirque excavated by a glacier.
