What is a glaciers that floats away in the ocean?
Icebergs are glaciers that typically break off of ice shelves.
Why do glaciers float and not sink to the bottom of the ocean?
Glaciers are made of ice, which is less dense than water. Therefore, fragments of glaciers that break off into water, called icebergs, will float.
What do chunks of continental glaciers produce when they break of from the edges of the ice sheets?
Floating Icebergs

Weathering and erosion break igneous and other types of rock into smaller pieces called what?
Sediments
What does weathering break rock down into?
Sediments.
How can mountains break apart?
how do mountains break apart

What can weathering and erosion do?
weathering can break down rocks into sediments then erosion carries the sediments from one place to another. Last but not least deposition lies all the sediments down
How were species affected after the break up of pangae?
by the process of the sediments reforming
Which mountain range has large rounded dome mountains?
Dome mountains (Laccoliths) are formed when magma pushes up but hardens before erupting onto the surface. Weather, glaciers, and rivers break down the rocks on top. Examples of dome mountain ranges include the Navajo Mountains in Utah, the Black Hills in South Dakota and the Adirondacks in New York. The Rocky Mountains also contain dome mountains.

Explain how rock and mountains break apart?
Rocks and mountains break apart due to erosion or weathering. The rocks and mountains would break down into smaller and smaller pieces and fall away.
What type of rock can break down into sediments because of weathering and erosion?
sedimentary dah!

How are iceberg's made?
They are lumps of ice which break off (calf) from the seaward ends of glaciers.
