How is coal created and where does coal it come from?
coal is created by the deposition and compaction of huge plant(organic) material deposited into a basin,with the increasing depth the high rank of coal is formed. The order is:- peat>lignite>bituminous>anthracite Peat is formed at shallow depth and on moving downward anthracite is formed at greater depth.
How does heat change reaction rate?
Collisions need to be formed for a reaction to occur. Therefore, heat boosts the reaction rate because heat causes vibrations to occur, meaning the particles are moving at a greater speed, so therefore creating more collisions and consequently resulting in a boost in the reaction rate.
What type of energy do rapidly moving comets have more of than slowly moving ones?
Kinetic Energy

Ridges of rock debris formed by a moving glacier?
moraines
What moraines are ridges of rock debris formed in front of a moving glacier.?
Ridges of rock debris that form in front of a glacier are called terminal moraines at the point that the glacier stops moving ahead.
What makes sand dunes and moraines similar?
Sand dunes are formed by the action of running water while moraines are formed by the action of moving ice.
Is a glacier formed by a flow of a river?
No. A glacier is a mass of moving snow and ice.
Small hills that are formed from deposits left by streams on the surface of a glacier are called what?
Kames. Many are found in areas of kettles and moraines.
A moving mass of ice formed in a mountain is a?
An Alpine Glacier.
What de you call a slow-moving mass of ice on a mountain?
Depending on when it was formed, the size and speed it is moving it could be either an Avalanche or Glacier. If it is an incredibly old, slow moving, large, ice mass it is likely a Glacier; however if it is a quickly moving, small (relatively), ice mass it is an Avalanche.
What is another process that moving glaciers picks up debris and moves it along to other places?
glacier landforms
How is a body of water formed by glacier movement?
well, a body of water is formed by glacier movement because while the glacier is moving parts of it is falling in the ocean. The glaciers are much colder then the water when the glacier falls water is formed in the water because of the melting ice.
How are moraines formed?
Moraines form when a glacier moves down a mountain until it reaches temperatures warm enough to melt. As the ice melts, it deposits sediment. This sediment form ridges called moraines. Sources: My earth science book.
How can movement of glaciers cause lakes to form?
As glaciers move, they can carve out deep depressions in the land called cirques. When the glacier retreats or melts, these cirques can become filled with water, forming lakes. Glaciers can also create moraines, which are piles of debris that dam up valleys, creating lakes behind them.
What is a feature formed by tributary glacier?
I know three: morains (a hill of dirt and rocks where the glacier stopped moving and then melted), carved valleys that are U-shaped vs. those valleys cut by a stream or river, rocks that are very smooth because of the ice and rocks they slid over.
