glaciers move them downhill and scratch the surface of the valley from a river 'v' to a glacial 'u' they also move lots of rocks. rivers move rocks downstream the higher upstream the more rough and sharp edged they are, downstream they are smoother and rounder due to erosion.
What else can I help you with?
What carries the largest rocks glaciers or rivers?
Glaciers can because of their frozen state.
How does glaciers and rivers form new rocks?
Glaciers and rivers transport eroded rock material (sediment), that can form new sedimentary rock after deposition.
What wears away igneous rocks?
Entrained grit in glaciers and rivers.
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 are large rocks transported by?
Large rocks can be transported by natural processes such as glaciers, rivers, and ocean currents. These processes are capable of moving rocks of various sizes over long distances by erosion, deposition, and ice movement.
How will melting glaciers affect the mountain streams and rivers downstream?
If mountain glaciers disappear there will be no source for many mountain streams, which will then dry up. Many rivers will be reduced in size as a result.
How did glaciers affect the interior plains?
Glaciers shaped the interior plains by depositing thick layers of sediment that formed the flat landscape we see today. As glaciers advanced and retreated, they also carved out river valleys and lakes, leaving behind fertile soils that support agriculture in the region. Additionally, the meltwater from glaciers helped to create the extensive network of rivers and wetlands that define the interior plains.
How do you the Himalayas affect the rivers of India?
because big rocks of the mountians fall of them and fall into the rivers below
Can rivers and lakes be made from glaciers?
Yes, glaciers can create both rivers and lakes. When glaciers melt, they release water that can flow into rivers or accumulate in depressions to form lakes. This often occurs as part of the glacial melting process in areas where glaciers are present.
How can glaciers erode rocks?
The glacier can carry rocks. The moving of the glacier.
What are rivers of flowing ice?
glaciers
Rivers on flowing ice?
Glaciers.
