What is an evidence that an area was once covered by a glacier?
loess deposits
What is the movement of a glacier?
As a glacier moves through a valley, it digs deep into the walls and floor . A once-narrow valley that had a V shape becomes wider. As a glacier moves through, the valley becomes U shape .
Why was fossil coral and salt have been found in New York?
The state of New York was once submerged under an ocean. A glacier had moved over and melted in that area. The water eventually retreated, leaving behind all of the lakes, hills, mountains, and many other geographical features.
How are icebergs naturally formed?
Icebergs were once part of a glacier. To better understand an iceburg, one must know what a glacier is made from. When the temperature is low enough that the sun doesn't melt snow, the snow then accumulates on top of itself, compressing and eventually hardening to become a glacier. The edges of the huge glaciers have ice shelves where the glacier itself meets the ocean and parts of the glacier float. These can break off to form icebergs when the waves from the ocean erosion on the thinner stretches of the ice shelf.
How could tell if a glacier had once moved across a region?
Erratics are a key sign of glacial activity. These are large rocks resting on top of soil, unlike monadnocks which are pinnacles left over from riparian erosion. The rock is carried from some distant mountain on glacial ice, and abandoned on a plain when the ice stops moving and melts. Glacial valleys have a characteristic U shape to them, as opposed to the V shape of valleys carved by water. Often glaciers leave broken rock and rubble in a wavey line known as a terminal moraine, or along the sides of the moving ice in formations known as lateral moraines. Ice also gouges series of characteristic grooves or scars on mountain rock faces, indicative of glacial activity.

What conclusion do geographers draw when they observe moraines-ridgelikes piles of rock and debris?
A glacier once covered the area. THIS IS TRUE.GRADPOINT/NOVANET :) ;)
What is evidence that a glacier once covered an area?
u shaped valleys
What does glacier man?
Glaciers are large layers of ice that once shaped the earth.
What conclusions do geographers draw when they observe moraines?
A glacier once covered the area.
When a glacier retreats is it moveing backwards?
A glacier is melting slowly away as it shrinks. Some may appear to be moving backwards, but they are actually melting from all sides at once.

As a glacier moves through a valley, it digs deep into the walls and floor . A once-narrow valley that had a V shape becomes wider. As a glacier moves through, the valley becomes U shape .
Is a row once across the needle or over and back?
A row is once across the needle.
Is it grammatically correct to say felt moved?
I felt moved once again
How did Bedouins once travel across the desert?
The Bedouins once traveled across the desert by riding on wending camels.

Is a drumlin caused by erosion?
A drumlin is a land-form from glacial deposition, which was once eroded. It is formed both by erosion and deposition. A drumlin is formed when moraine deposited by a retreating glacier is subsequently reshaped by the returning glacier the following year or after the glacial interval with caused the glacier to retreat in the first place.
