Times when continental glaciers cover large parts of earths surface are called?
These are ice ages.Ice ageIce Age.
What is the difference about glaciation and an interglacial period?
Glaciations are the times during which glaciers grew and covered large parts of continents. An interglacial period is a geological time between glaciations.
How many times is the suns radius bigger than earths surface?
109 Actually, no. 109 would probably be for Jupiter. For Earth, hundreds of Earth's surface could fit in the sun's radius.
What is one fact of the rock cycle?
the earths surface has changed up to 3 times over the course of its entire history (completely different physical appearance) due to the rock cycle.
What name is given to magma when it is extruded at earths surface?
Lava. The word lava is from the latin word labes:to slide/fall. As lava leaves the volcano,it's temperature can vary from 700 degrees C to 1,200 degrees C,and can be up to 1,000 times more viscous than water.

How do glaciers tear down or build up earths surface?
The some times make kettle lakes and deposit till
What is the Suns gravity in relation to Earths gravity?
The Sun's gravity, at its surface, is about 28 times Earth's surface gravity.
What happens to earths surface as huge pieces of crust move?
most times earthquakes occur
How many times does a meteorite spin in a year?
None: A meteorite is a meteoroid that has reached Earths surface.
What is the difference about glaciation and an interglacial period?
Glaciations are the times during which glaciers grew and covered large parts of continents. An interglacial period is a geological time between glaciations.
Match the water cycle element in column 1 with the characteristic in column?
oceans 97 percent of earths water glaciers 70 percent of earths fresh water ground water 100 times more water than in all rivers and lakes rivers powered by gravity
How much percent of Switzerland is covered by glaciers?
About 16% but it depends on the time of year and which part of the Magellan cycle we are in. Also global warming is not helping. A big part of the horton ice shelf disappeared a few weeks ago meaning it was more like 14 or 15% - worrying times indeed
Surface gravity of Neptune?
Neptune's gravity is 1.14 times the earths gravity. So if you weigh 100 pounds you would weigh 114 on Neptune.
How many times is the suns radius bigger than earths surface?
109 Actually, no. 109 would probably be for Jupiter. For Earth, hundreds of Earth's surface could fit in the sun's radius.
How much stronger is the sun's gravity than the earths?
The Sun has a gravity of 27.94 g whereas the Earth has a gravity of 0.99732 g about 28 times more than the Earth.
What is the compare of the earth and the moon in terms of size and surface gravity?
earth is 81.3 times the mass of the moon . acceleration due to gravity at earths surface = 9.82 (m/s)/s acceleration due to gravity at moons surface = 1.62 (m/s)/s . 1 kg at earths surface, force = 1 * 9.82 = 9.82 newtons 1 kg at moons surface, force = 1 * 1.62 = 1.62 newtons
