glacier move at approximately 2 cm per day. even though that isn't much, glaciers constant;y take with them dirt and sediments from the ground, eroding it. this could also be weathering.

How is glacier a source of both weathering and erosion?
Glaciers move (very slowly) therefore functioning as a source of erosion. They are also a source of weathering "in situ" due to their freeze/thaw cycles causing expansion/contraction of adjacent stone, causing physical deformation.
Which is a very slow type of erosion that moves rocks and soil is it a glacier a creep a landslide or weathering?
glacier
What is weathering and erosion and explain weathering and erosion?
weathering and erosion are steps that happen when it rains.
What geologic process can change any type of rock into sediment?
Weathering and erosion
What are the effects of weathering and erosion on earth?
what are the effects of weathering and erosion

How can you use the words glaciers and weathering in a sentence?
Wind and weathering can cause glacier erosion.

glacier
What the shape of the surface of the land?
Water, Wind, Wave, and Glacier Erosion as well as Mass Movement (or Erosion, Deposition, and Weathering)
How was long island formed by glaciers?
weathering and erosion the glacier used abrasion and then all of the rocks would be taken away by erosion

What thing is different from erosion and weathering?
Erosion is when..................................................................................................................................................and weathering is when......................................................................................................!
How do weathering and erosion create or change landforms?
Weathering is the breakdown of rocks into smaller fragments or ion in solution. Erosion is the removal of that material away from its source. Weathering and erosion are responsible for the unique landforms on Earth's surface. Every "cool" vacation spot out west was most likely created by weathering and erosion. Bryce National Park, Grand Canyon, Glacier National Park, etc. In order for erosion to occur, you must have a transporting medium, e.g. water, wind, glacial ice.
What type of erosion formed the yosemite valley?
glacier erosion
What geologic process can change any type of rock into sediment?
Weathering and erosion
