When the ice on a glacier moves it creates groves in the earth.
Water gets into little cracks in rocks, stone, bricks etc, when the water freezes into ice it expands making the crack larger, this process repeats until eventually chunks of rock, brick, stone break away, over hundreds. thousands even millions of years the landscape changes because of this erosion by 'ice'

What is a shape or feature of the earth's surface like a delta of canyon?
the wearing away of earth's materials by water wind or ice
What is the exact shape of earth?
The exact shape of earth is "Oblate spheroid".
How would you describe the earths shape?
the shape of the earth is not flat. it has a spherical shape. its slightly flattened at the poles to give a nearly spherical shape hence; the earth's shape is better described as a geoid which means the earth's shape
There are two ice caps on Earth what are their names?
A polar ice cap is a high latitude region of a planet that is covered in ice. The two ice caps on Earth are the Antarctic ice sheet and the Arctic sea ice.
The most common ice crystal shape?
The most comon crystal shape is diamond
What forces shape earth surface?
They are Wind, Waves, Glaciers and Water/Ice
How do plants and animals shape the Earth's surface?
by borrowing in rocks and form ice wedding
What event in earth's past helped shape New York's land?
The ice age
What is a shape or feature of the earth's surface like a delta of canyon?
the wearing away of earth's materials by water wind or ice
How do melting glaciers shape land?
When the glacier is formed the ice scratches the land. When the glacier recedes the ice will scar the earth. This is called glacial scarring.
What forces shape the surface of the earth?
Geologic forces that shape the Earth are weathering and erosion (from wind, ice, water, and gravity) and the results of plate tectonics (volcanism, earthquakes, mountain building, subduction, crust creation).
How does moving ice change the shape of the earth?
Erosion. Glaciers also contain rock fragments, which act as an abrasive.
What shape is an ice cube?
Usually a cube. Some ice makers shape their ice into crescent shapes, however.
Why when an ice cube is taken out from the freezer it changes shape?
Solids (ice) has a definite shape. Liquids do not have a definite shape.
this is a test question what shape is the earth?
The shape of Earth is quite different from what we have seen in pictures we have drawn about it. The reason is that the area of Earth's surface has constant curvature, making it impossible for us to draw a perfect circle. Can you imagine how challenging it would be to draw a perfect circle if the surface of Earth had no curvature? The Earth as we know it is not round but an oblate spheroid. Its shape is not perfectly circular, but with a bulge at the equator and poles. The shape of Earth is a sphere. It is an oblate spheroid, which means it has an equatorial bulge. Earth has a circumference of 40,075 km or 24,901 miles and a circumference of 40,007km if we exclude the Antarctic ice cap.
How much of the earth's ice is in Antarctica?
The Antarctic ice sheet contains about 90% of earth's ice.
Is Earth's shape a circle?
No, the Earth's shape is an oblate. A slightly squashed sphere or ball shape.
