What else can I help you with?
What is all the of the material carried and deposited by glaciers?
Glacial drift
Does weathering a rock until it is all gone destroy the matter that it was made of?
No, the matter is carried off by wind or water and is re-deposited to form new rocks.
How does material deposited by glaciers differ from material deposited by streams?
To answer this, think about the way water moves and how ice moves. Now think of steady fast-moving streams of water and massive hulking glaciers scraping across the land. Streams push sediments along and sort them into normalized groups. Sand is separated from stones of different sizes. Glacier pick up rocks in their slow progress and deposit them later as the ice melts. The streams' depositions are very regular; the glaciers' depositions are very irregular.
Which of these is an agent of erosion glaciers gravity ocean waves glaciers wind or all of these?
All
Do glaciers slowly quickly or not at all?
Glaciers move slowly.
Do glaciers move quickly slowly or not at all?
Glaciers move slowly.
All about glaciers?
Glaciers are fallen snow :thats how it's formed
Where would you see glaciers?
well all glaciers are gone except for some icebergs and kettles or moraines at anokijig will teach you what the glaciers did
Rivers and glaciers can do what to fragments of rock?
They break them up into smaller pieces of rock (eventually all the way down to sand or other fine pieces of earth) and/or smooth their rough edges in a process called weathering.They move them down-flow in the process known as erosion.The rock particles which are carried by the rivers and glaciers will ultimately be deposited when the water or ice can no longer transport them. After deposition, they may eventually become sedimentary rock, through the processes of lithification (compaction and cementation).
How can glaciers cause disposition?
When glaciers move as they grow, they grind the ground and rock underneath them. These pieces are pushed forward while they grow. When they final begin to melt, the water that is in the glaciers flows out from underneath them. This often carried sand and small bits of gravel. As they melted further and faster, larger gravel and stones wash out. Finally very large rocks and boulders are left behind. All of these are called deposition.
Where are the Glaciers?
all around the world :)
What term describes all types of glacial deposits?
till is the name of the material. In most cases all glacial-related deposits are unsorted and unstratified.
