How do glaciers and rivers make new rock types?
Glaciers and rivers can erode existing rocks to create sediment. Over time, this sediment can be compacted and cemented together to form new sedimentary rocks. In addition, heat and pressure from tectonic processes can metamorphose existing rocks into new rock types.
What can cause new landforms?
rivers volcanoes glaciers
How can rocks be changed?
usually, due to friction with sand ( in desert ), water ( in rivers ) and ice ( usually in mountains) that causes glaciers..thats the shape of them. if you mean the types of rocks..for millions of years ago, rocks as we know them where buried under layers of sand and with lots of different levels of heat and pressure, new types of rocks are formed
How did glaciers affect New England's Geography?
The glaciers helped to form many aspects of New England. This includes the mountains and the big lakes that are there.
How did new Yorks finger lake form?
movement of glaciers
What happens to soil and rocks that have been eroded?
Eroded soil washes away and winds up in rivers, and eventually in lakes or oceans where is becomes sediment at the bottom. Rocks can be eroded into sand. Generally, they remain part of the soil, until the soil is eroded.
How do glacier assist in rock being transported to a new place?
Glaciers transport rocks by carrying them within the ice as the glacier moves downslope. As glaciers melt, they deposit rocks and sediment in new locations, a process known as glacial deposition. Glacial erosion also occurs as the ice scrapes and plucks rocks from the bedrock, further aiding in the transportation of rocks to different areas.
Are there any glaciers in New Jersey?
No. New Jersey is above freezing most of the year, and there are no high mountains. There is no way the glaciers could form there in the current climate.
What natural things move weathered pieces to new places?
Natural forces like wind, water, glaciers, and gravity can move weathered pieces to new places. Wind can carry smaller particles like sand and dust, water can transport rocks and sediments through rivers and oceans, glaciers can push large boulders, and gravity can cause rockfalls and landslides to move materials downslope.
How does volcanoes form new rocks?
when the lava runs out of the volcano it forms new rocks
Can new rocks form over time?
Yes, because the first rocks made from microscopic minerals to begin with. After the ice-age many of these rocks were spread throughout the world by glaciers. I'm not 100% positive, but i'm not super doubtful lmao :D
Which agent of erosion was primarily responsible for forming the long U-shaped valleys in the Finger Lakes region of New York State?
ICE in the form of glaciers.
