Glaciers have a high albedo: they reflect more of the Sun's light/heat back into space than bare soil. So their general effect would be cooling: the more glaciers, the larger the cooling effect.

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 the picking up and movement of earth beneath a glacier referred to?
The picking up and movement of earth beneath a glacier is referred to as glacial erosion. This process involves the glacier scraping and plucking rocks and sediment from the ground as it flows, and can result in the formation of landforms such as valleys, cirques, and moraines.
How is wind erosion different from water and glacier erosion?
Wind does not carry heavy objects.
Which landforms was not formed by erosion from river or glacier?
mountain
What process is it when Rock fragments freeze to the bottom of a glacier and are then carried away when the glacier moves?
The process in which rock fragments freeze to the bottom of a glacier and are then carried away when the glacier moves is called plucking. After the last ice age, stranded ice blocks left behind by the continental glacier melted and formed kettles.
Which type of erosion moves the most sediment on the earth's surface?
Glacier Erosion
What type of erosion formed the yosemite valley?
glacier erosion
Is a Cirque a result of deposition or erosion?
It is glacier erosion.
What is the difference between glacier erosion and glacier deposition?
Glacier erosion is when the ground below the glacier is removed. Glacial deposition is when the debris (eroded ground) is left behind when a glacier melts and the face retreats.
How has erosion effected glacier bay national park?
Erosion at Glacier bay is caused by the chunks of ice on the glacier breaking apart and falling into the water
How do glacier caues erosion?
glacier r cool and stoof
How does wind erosion affect earth's crust?
it doesn't
How does ice erosion affect earth's surface?
climate

How does the geosphere affect hydrosphere?
