What else can I help you with?
What moves very slowly over thousands of years and chisel away the Earth in front of them?
Glaciers
Which way do glaciers move?
Glaciers are big chucks of ice that are usually seen at the north and south pole. The glacier's move in the direction of the waters current.
Is it possible for glaciers to move backwards?
Glaciers can move in any direction, including backwards, but typically they move in the direction of their accumulating mass (downhill). Factors such as changes in temperature, pressure, and topography can influence the direction of glacier movement.
Which direction do glaciers tend to move?
in all directions
In which direction to valley glaciers move?
Valley glaciers flow down mountain slopes... so they flow down. I finally found this answer in a book.
In what direction do continental glaciers move?
Continental glaciers move outwards in all directions from their center due to the force of gravity. The movement is influenced by the underlying topography and the weight of the ice mass.
Do glaciers move quickly slowly or not at all?
Glaciers move slowly.
Is glaciers included in the water cycle?
The way in which glaciers fit into the hydrologic cycle is by being able to hold a lot of frozen water. They also relate to the rock cycle in that they cause major erosion.
What are glaciers made up of?
Glaciers are not made of rock; they are made of ice. Glaciers can contain rocks, but not of any particular type. Rather, they carry whatever type of rock they are going over or have gone over.
How long does it take for a glacier to form?
Glaciers typically form over thousands of years as snow accumulates and compacts into ice. The exact time it takes for a glacier to form can vary depending on factors such as snowfall rates, temperature, and geographical location.
How do glaciers flow?
glaciers move slowly but when theres alot of rain the water and the glaciers move faster
Do glaciers slowly quickly or not at all?
Glaciers move slowly.
