What are four types of erosion?
Four types of erosion are water erosion (caused by flowing water), wind erosion (caused by the action of wind), glacial erosion (caused by moving glaciers), and gravitational erosion (caused by gravity pulling material downhill).
What are some differences in how two types of glaciers affect the land?
There are two primary types of glaciers: alpine glaciers and continental glaciers. Alpine glaciers, found in mountainous regions, carve sharp, U-shaped valleys and create features like cirques and arêtes as they move down slopes. In contrast, continental glaciers, which cover vast land areas like Greenland and Antarctica, reshape the landscape on a much larger scale, flattening terrain and depositing thick layers of sediment, resulting in features like drumlins and moraines. While both types of glaciers erode and transport material, their impacts on the land differ significantly due to their sizes and environments.
How are glaciers caused?
cold weather
What are the three main types of erosion?
The 3 main types of glacial erosion are plucking, abrasion and freeze thaw.
What caused glaciers to begin to melt?
Global
What types of impacts do earthquakes have?
Catastrophic impacts.
What are the 4 major types of erosion?
The four major types of erosion are water erosion (caused by runoff and water flow), wind erosion (caused by wind moving particles), ice erosion (caused by glaciers and ice melt), and gravity erosion (caused by gravity moving rocks and soil downhill).
What are the different types of glaciers?
Ice Sheets Ice Shelves Ice Caps Ice Streams/Outlet Glaciers Icefields Mountain Glaciers Valley Glaciers Piedmont Glaciers Cirque Glaciers Hanging Glaciers Tidewater Glaciers
What are the impacts of UV radiation?
There can be a number of impacts of UV radiation. These include global warming, melting or glaciers, floods, and various diseases in humans and animals.
What caused the slow erosion of the Appalachians mountains?
glaciers
How is erosion caused by rivers different than erosion caused by glaciers?
the cause by the change of the earth
Are most lunar craters that are formed by erosion caused by glaciers?
Most lunar craters are impact craters caused by incoming meteors and asteroids. Since our moon has no atmosphere there can be no glaciers or erosion.
