Do glaciers cause chemical weathering when they scrape rocks?
yes it is and it is one of the major eroson.
How does weathering and erosion shape the land and objects?
E.g, glaciers can gorge out canyons
Is water a cause of physical weathering or chemical weathering?
It is a cause of both.
Physical weathering is the type of weathering in which only a materials size or shape is changed?
Yes. Physical weathering is erosion caused by wind, dust, rain, flowing water, collapses, impacts, freezing/thawing, or glaciers.
What are the pros and cons of glaciers?
Pros:· Glaciers provide drinking water· Glacier water provides plants water· Glaciers help generate hydroelectric powerCons:· Glaciers cause flooding· Glaciers cause avalanches
How glaciers cause weathering?
because when its freezing the water turn into glaciers
How can you use the words glaciers and weathering in a sentence?
Wind and weathering can cause glacier erosion.
What do rivers glaciers wind and waves cause?
Weathering and Erosion.
How can erosion cause weathering?
Erosion does not cause weathering. Erosion is a TYPE of weathering in which surface soil and rock are worn away through the action of glaciers, water, and wind.
How does ice causes weathering?
Glaciers
Do glaciers cause chemical weathering when they scrape rocks?
yes it is and it is one of the major eroson.
Can ice cause weathering and erosion?
Ice, as glaciers during the ice-ages, scoured mountains and formed 'U' shaped valleys.
What physical weathering process do glaciers contribute?
ice
Glaciers are agents of weathering?
not just glaiciers, but all ice, (including glaiciers) are agents of weathering.
Glaciers weather and water shape Earth by .?
Erosion and weathering.
Which is not a factor that affects the rate in weathering rocks?
There are not many factors which do not affect weathering in rocks.Two factors do not affect weathering are:Wind, sea and river erosion does not have any impact. No erosive processes cause weathering directly. Glaciers, however, may influence the climate of a region to the extent that more freeze-thaw weathering occursThe rock cycle does not affect weathering. This includes all actions and movements of rocks, though uplift and fault movement may cause more exposure to weathering, which may increase the rate of weathering
What are facts about weathering?
the breaking down of rocks by snow,water,and glaciers
