What is the term for the glacially carved inlets that mark the coasts of Chile Norway and New Zealand south island?
Fiords (fjords).
What is a Glacially carved valley drowned by incursions of the sea called?
A glacial valley filled with sea water is a fjord (pronounced ford)
What are flooded glacial valleys?
Flooded glacial valleys are valleys carved out by glaciers during the last Ice Age which are now submerged under water. These valleys can form deep fjords, where seawater has filled in the glacially-carved depressions. Examples include the fjords of Norway and Alaska.
What term refers to steep-sided valleys that are inlets of the sea?
i had a class assignment and the answer is fjords
What is the long sea inlet formed by the submergence of a valley?
A fjord is the long, narrow sea inlet formed by the submergence of a glacially-carved valley. Fjords typically have steep cliffs along their sides and are found in regions where glaciers have sculpted the landscape.
What are 4 characteristics of a glacial landscape?
U-shaped valleys carved by glaciers Moraines, which are ridges of glacially deposited sediment Hanging valleys, created as smaller glaciers merge with larger ones Glacial lakes formed by the melting of ice sheets
How do wave affect inlets?
they affect inlets by big waves
Which of these California geologic features formed as the result of erosion by glaciers?
Yosemite Valley is a California geologic feature that formed as a result of erosion by glaciers. The glaciers carved out the U-shaped valley, leaving behind steep granite walls and beautiful waterfalls. Other examples include the glacially-carved cirques and hanging valleys in the Sierra Nevada mountain range.
what is the term for carved works of sculpture?
The term for carved works of sculpture is "relief sculpture" when the figures are raised from a flat background, or simply "sculpture" when referring to three-dimensional carved works in various forms. Carvings can be made from materials like stone, wood, or ivory, and they can be full-round (freestanding) or in relief.
What effect do waves have on inlets?
Waves can affect inlets by shaping their morphology through erosion and sediment transport. Strong waves can deepen inlets by moving sand and sediment, while sheltered inlets may accumulate sediment and become shallower. Waves can also influence the water circulation patterns within inlets, affecting water quality and ecosystem dynamics.
Do glaciers carved basins that filled with water to form lakes?
Yes, glaciers carved basins during their movement, and when they melted, these depressions often filled with water, forming lakes. This process is known as glacial lake formation. Many of the world's lakes, especially in regions previously covered by ice sheets, are a result of this glacial activity. Examples include the Great Lakes in North America and numerous smaller lakes in glacially influenced areas.
