Are valleys formed your erosion or weathering?
Erosion and weathering: Glaciers form 'U'-shaped valleys, while rivers form 'V'-shaped valleys.
Does a mountain erode?
Mountains erode continuously. Erosion may be by water (rain or rivers), ice (glaciers) or wind.
What type of erosion is similar to using sandpaper to smooth the edges of wood?
The erosive process of abrasion, which occurs in rivers and glaciers, is compared widely to sandpaper.
How is weathered rock move?
The process of weathered rock being moved is called erosion. Weathered rock can be moved by strong winds, rivers and runoff, or even glaciers.
What kind of erosion occurs in rivers?
erosion.
What do rivers glaciers wind and waves cause?
Weathering and Erosion.
How is erosion caused by rivers different than erosion caused by glaciers?
the cause by the change of the earth
Can mountains cause erosion?
No, it is they that are eroded by such things as rain, rivers and glaciers.
Are valleys formed your erosion or weathering?
Erosion and weathering: Glaciers form 'U'-shaped valleys, while rivers form 'V'-shaped valleys.
Does a mountain erode?

Which process formed the rocks layers in the canyon wall?
The majority of canyons are formed by long-time erosion. Rivers flowing, glaciers moving, and earthquakes can all result in canyon formation.
What type of erosion is similar to using sandpaper to smooth the edges of wood?
The erosive process of abrasion, which occurs in rivers and glaciers, is compared widely to sandpaper.
What are the rivers of ice in antarctica called?
i think the rivers of ice in Antarctica are called glaciers.
How glaciers and rivers affect rocks?
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.
How is weathered rock move?
The process of weathered rock being moved is called erosion. Weathered rock can be moved by strong winds, rivers and runoff, or even glaciers.
Do glaciers cause valleys or earthquakes?
Only by glaciers and rivers not eartquakes
What kind of erosion occurs in rivers?
erosion.
