A little, maybe.
1. According to some ideas in geotechnics, when an ice field melts away, the isostatic rebound of the earth's crust may be enough to allow more gas-rich magma to fill the void, and cause an eruption. Because the isostatic rebound may open up old fault in the crust. This would only happen if there had been a considerable ice field.
2. If a volcano erupts beneath a glacier, it will melt the glacier, and can cause huge floods of water. As happens sometimes in Iceland. For Iceland not only has glaciers aplenty, it also is located directly above a major tectonic plate junction. Indeed, the volcanic activity produced Iceland.

What are the landforms for science?
Water,desert,plains,plagtos,mountains,glaciers
Is earth science and geology the same?
no, geology is a sub part of earth science. earth science is complete study of earth and includes geology( study of earth crust), oceanography( study of oceans), Glaciology( study of glaciers), soil science( study of soil)
Pyramid-shaped peaks that form when three or more cirque glaciers erode a mountain?
Look at textbook EARTH SCIENCE pg: 198-200
What are five landscapes features formed by alpine glaciers?
The bottom of alpine glaciers are rugged or rough, so they create a rugged landscape. They move because when the bottom of them melt, the water produced allows it to slide. (they typically move downhill) From a science book "Earth's Changing Surface" by Holt Science & Technology.
What are two kinds of glaciers and how are they different?
The two different glaciers are valley and continental glaciers and they are different because continental glaciers are the largest, and valley glaciers are on the top of mountain peaks.
What do melting glaciers have to do with science?
?
What field of science studies the glaciers?
earth science
How is a continental and valley glaciers the same?
Continental glaciers are thicker and larger. Valley glaciers are formed on mountains; continental glaciers are formed on flat land.
What are the landforms for science?
Water,desert,plains,plagtos,mountains,glaciers
What is the definition of kettle in earth science?
a kettle lake is a lake made by glaciers when they passed through.
What does till mean in earth science?
I form along the sides of and in front of glaciers and am left beind when they melt. What am I?
Which does NOT cause rapid changes to the Earth's surface?
3rd grade science question. What does not cause rapid changes to earth surfaces
Is earth science and geology the same?
no, geology is a sub part of earth science. earth science is complete study of earth and includes geology( study of earth crust), oceanography( study of oceans), Glaciology( study of glaciers), soil science( study of soil)
What questions would you ask a science teacher?
The question that you could ask a science teacher is why the glaciers are melting. You could also ask about DNA, plants, animals, or even atmospheric pressures.
What the 2 most common kinds of glaciers?
There are 2 main types of glaciers, Continental is one, they float away from central regions. The second is alpine or valley which are the glaciers that flow down the valley from the mountain.
How do glaciers contribute to sedimentation?
As glaciers pass over land they erode it, changing its features. Rocks frozen in the glaciers scrape across the bedrock, wearing it downand making scratches called striations. Eroded sediments get pushed in front of a glacierand piled up along its sides. These are called moraines. When glaciers begin to melt and retreat, the meltwater forms channels and deposites. Sediment in new locations. Large rocks called erratics can be left behind, many kilometersfrom their source.
What is glacio-speleology?
A Hybrid science combining the study of Caves and Glaciers. Ice Caves, popular in Europe, would fit into this scientific categoryl.
