What is alpine glaciers?
An alpine glacier is a glacier that FORMED on a mountain. It doesn't have to BE on a mountain, just formed on one.
Which one is not left in the land as a result of continental glaciers?

What 3 places in the us was formed by glaciers?
Yosemite Valley in California was formed by glaciers carving out the landscape during the last Ice Age. The Great Lakes in the Midwest were created by glaciers moving over the land and carving out deep basins which filled with water as the glaciers melted. The Finger Lakes region in New York was shaped by glaciers carving out deep, narrow lakes between steep hillsides.
What were the great lakes formed by?
The Great Lakes were formed by the retreat of glaciers at the end of the last ice age, around 10,000 years ago. The melting glaciers left behind depressions that filled with water, creating the five interconnected freshwater lakes we see today.
What is one of the major indications that earths climate has varied over time?
Land forms carved by glaciers in temperate areas
How was Lake Erie created?
Nature thought the flat land in that area was too flat, especially to move glaciers back and forth on the land. So over thousands of years, nature sent glaciers down across what is now Canada and now the US. These glaciers would advance...and retreat... over and over during seasons throughout the glacial period of earth. As the glaciers advanced and receded, it broke rocks down, which eventually created five very deep "basins". Each of these basins, as they formed, collected rain water and melted glacial water. Eventually, the glaciers retreated off these lands. The basins formed by the glaciers created The Great Lakes, and are known as glacial lakes. No one built Lake Erie; nature formed or created it.
What is Australia's highest glacial lake?
Lake Cootapatamba near Mt Kosciuszko, Lake Cootapatamba is all that is left of one of Australia's largest Glaciers, This glacier would have formed during the last ice age and melted about 2000 years after it ended, same as many glaciers in the Australian High Country, these glaciers Eroded the land to form peaks and mountains, Before the glaciers Mount Kosciuszko was under the sea!
Why was Britain joined to mainland Europe around 100000 bc?
Because originally, as the Earth was formed, all the land was concentrated into one huge island. Fault lines ruptured and the land drifted on what are now called tectonic plates. Add to that the action of the glaciers during the ice age and the boundary between the UK and Europe was formed.
What are the three frozen feature found in the colder regions of the planet?

What is a special land feature in Cuba?
Mogotes are one special land feature in Cuba. Mogotes are dome shaped rock formations composed of limestone, marble, or dolomite and are surrounded by flat land.
What are land features created by gravity?
One land feature created by gravity would be sinkholes.
What is a Valley formed where ridge appears to be torn apart?
A valley formed where a ridge appears to be torn apart is known as a graben. This geological feature is created by the downward displacement of a block of land between two parallel faults. The movement along the faults causes the land to sink and create a linear valley.
