How many glaciers are on mountain rainier?
Mount Rainier has three glaciers.
What is a glacier in the Antarctic?
The Taylor, Beardmore, and Amundsen Glaciers are three of the many glaciers in the Antarctic.
Compare the strengths of static sliding and rolling friction?
Static friction is stronger than sliding friction because it prevents an object from starting to move, while sliding friction resists the motion of an object in contact with another surface. Rolling friction is typically the weakest of the three, as it only occurs when an object is already in motion, and the friction forces are reduced due to rolling instead of sliding.
What are the three types of friction and when does each apply?
There are three types of friction, static friction, rolling friction, and sliding friction. Static friction is friction between two surfaces that aren't moving relatively to each other. Rolling friction is friction between a rolling object and the surface that it is rolling on. Sliding friction is friction where an object slides, or rubs against, another surface.

Where are three locations where glaciers are?
Three notable locations where glaciers can be found are Antarctica, which holds the largest ice sheet in the world; Greenland, home to the Greenland Ice Sheet; and the Himalayas, where the vast number of glaciers, including the Siachen and Gangotri glaciers, are crucial for the region's water supply. These glaciers play a vital role in Earth's climate and hydrology.
The three most common agents of erosion are .?
water, wind, and ice
Name three reasons why access to safe drinking water is going to be even more of a problem in future?
In some areas, wells are being overused and are running dry. Glaciers are melting away and cities that have depended on glacial water will have no water when the glaciers are gone. Waters are being increasingly polluted by a variety of causes.
What are three agents of erosion?
Three agents of erosion are wind, water, and ice. Wind erosion occurs when wind blows particles away from the surface, water erosion happens when water carries away soil and rocks, and ice erosion occurs when glaciers move and shape the land through processes like plucking and abrasion.
What are three possible causes of oversteepened slopes?
glaciers and sand dunes
What type of glaciers are sharp pyramid shaped and peaks formed by alpine glaciers?
Sharp pyramid-shaped peaks formed by alpine glaciers are called horn glaciers. Horn glaciers are created when three or more cirque glaciers erode a mountain from different sides, leaving behind a sharp-edged peak. Famous examples include the Matterhorn in the Alps.
What are the three different types of glaciers?
There are more than three types of glaciers...but I believe you are looking for:Alpine Glacier (found on mountains)Valley GlaciersIce Sheet or Continental GlacierThe USGS has a great site dedicated to just types of glaciers....http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2004/1216/glaciertypes/glaciertypes.html
