The density of ice at 0°C is 0.9167 g/cm³. The density increases slightly at lower temperatures.

Therefore, the volume and temperature of the glacier is needed in order to calculate the exact weight.

How does a glacier affects the land?

A glacier can completely reshape the land. As it is made of very heavy ice, this ice can erode surfaces from the debris and rocks that it carries and the amount of pressure it places on the surface beneath it during its movement.


What happens when a glacier melts in a cirque?

the glacier dropped small rocks as it melted. An erratic is a large boulder left behind after a glacier has melted

Why glacier is an effective agent of erosion?

It's heavy, it moves, it grinds.


How is erosion different from water and glacier erosion?

Wind does not carry heavy objects.


How do glacial form?

Glacial erratics aren't exactly formed. They were deposited by glaciers that were moving in that area at one time. improved= Glacial erratics are exactly formed. Because a glacier is so heavy, the glacier can pluck large rocks as the glacier moves. When the rock is too heavy for the glacier to hold, or the glacier is retreating, it then deposits the rock in a place where it wouldn't usually be found. This is what an erratic is. A large piece of rock in an unusual surrounding. i hope this helps :)
