What is an upward rebounding of a coastline due to the melting of glacial ice called?
Glacial isostasy.
What is melting point depression?
This is the modification of melting (freezing) point due to impurities in the material.
Can canyons be formed by glaciers?
The initial depression can be created by a glacier and running water from the melting ice then becomes a river that will cut the area down to bedrock.
When was Melting Close created?
Melting Close was created in 1986.
When a glacier melts the rocks it carried fall to the ground in a jumble called what?
A glacial erratic is a rock of any size that is released from a melting glacier. A glacial erratic can be identified because it differs from the rocks in its surrounding area.

Glacial isostasy.
What landforms does glacial erosion create?
Two major erosional processes occur at the base of a glacier. First, at the base of a glacier, large amounts of loose rock and sediment are incorporated into the moving glacial ice by partial melting and refreezing. The second process of erosion involves the abrasive action of the held rock and sediment held by the ice on the surface underneath the glacier. This abrasive process is known as scouring.
What is a glacial outwash?
Glacial PlainA l outwash plain is a stratified deposit of sand and gravel transported by water from a melting glacial ice sheet.
What are some causes and effects of glacial melting?

How is glacial melting affecting penguins in the Arctic Circle?
Not at all. There are no penguins in the Arctic.
What are the reasons for the melting of glacial ice and why the sea level rises?
Global warming (caused by our burning of fossil fuels) is expanding the ocean water and melting glacial ice. Thie melted ice also adds to the sea level rise.
What do the melting point and freezing point of glacial acetic acid have in common?
These words are synonyms here.
