What is the process in which a glacier loosens and moves rock?
The process by which a glacier loosens and moves rock is called glacial erosion. It occurs when the glacier's immense weight and movement cause it to pick up and carry rock fragments. As the glacier moves, these rocks scrape and grind against the underlying surface, gradually wearing it down and forming characteristic features like U-shaped valleys and striations on bedrock.
What process moves rocks around the planet?
Erosion;the movement of tectonic plates
Explain how weathering and mass movement together produce most landforms?
Once weathering weakens and breaks rock apart, mass movement moves the debris downslope. There a stream usually carries it away. Stream valleys are the most common of Earth's landforms.
What name is this process when rocks break down?
the process is called weathering when the rocks break down
What process can break rocks apart?
erosion can break rocks apart, weathering can also break rocks apart

How does water effect erosion?
The water loosens the rocks. Then it knocks over other rocks. Then that causes an erosion
How does erosion transport soil?
Soil is carried in the rocks during erosion and as rocks break the soil loosens and falls out.
In a process called blank a glacier scours the bedrock as it moves?
Abrasion. Stones and rocks are picked up by the glacier and make their way to the bottom of the ice flow where they scour the bedrock as it moves.
How does weathered material move?
It moves by different rocks and soils are carried from the water and is buried under bigger holes and rocks.
Explain how weathering and mass movement together produce most landforms?
Once weathering weakens and breaks rock apart, mass movement moves the debris downslope. There a stream usually carries it away. Stream valleys are the most common of Earth's landforms.
How does erosion wears down earth surface?
water loosens soil and makes rocks and soil fall with the water. wind does the exact same thing.
What is the force that moves rocks and other materials?
magnets
What is the process in which soil loosens and rocks break apart due to animals digging the ground?

When water moves on top of rocks what do the rocks become?
Erosion causes them to become smooth from wear.
What name is this process when rocks break down?
the process is called weathering when the rocks break down
