How do you tell if a glacier has moved?
A glacier is a piece of ice.
What is the name of the glacier that has frozen to bedrock?
The name of a glacier that has frozen to bedrock is rock glacier. A rock glacier is formed by angular blocks of frozen rock that form in the valley of glaciers.
Which two spheres interact when a glacier erodes a rock?
Which two spheres interact when a glacier erodes rock
Is a glacier called a rock?
A glacier is a mass of frozen water, therefore it cannot be considered a rock.
The process in which fragments freeze to the bottom of a glacier and then are carried away when the glaciers are moved is called?
The process in which rock fragments freeze to the bottom of a glacier and are then carried away when the glacier moves is called plucking. After the last ice age, stranded ice blocks left behind by the continental glacier melted and formed kettles.
Action of rock being placed somewhere else?
An erratic boulder is a rock that has been moved and left in position as the glacier recedes.

What produces the scraping action that often causes a polished look on solid rock over which a glacier has moved?
The thick layer of ice produces the polished look on solid rock by scraping the rock as it moves over it

How can you tell if a glacier had once moved across a region?
Glaciers push huge amounts of sediments ( rock bits ) along the bottoms and sides of the ice.
What feature is the result of glacier carving out rock as it moves?
The feature that is the result of a glacier carving out rock as it moves is a roche moutonnees. It is a rock formation created by the passage of glacier ice. Or a terminal moraine

The process in which a glacier loosens and picks up rock as it moves is called?
Plucking is the process in which a glacier freezes around cracked and broken rock and when it moves downhill, the rock is plucked from the back wall of the glacier.
How many years does it take for an iceberg to form?
An iceberg will form in a matter of seconds as it breaks off of a glacier or ice shelf and begins floating independently in the water. The components of an iceberg (ice and rock material) will vary tremendously in age based on the speed at which the glacier moved and the rock components which are contained within.
