By what process are surface materials removed and transported from one location to another?
Erosion is the process of surface materials and their transport.
How do glaciers form and change the earth's surface?
by gravity, ice, wind, water
Why are cobbles and boulders composed of Precambrian gneiss commonly found on top of the surface bedrock in the Catskills?
Because glaciers transported these rocks from the Adirondacks to the Catskills
Does Neptune have glaciers?
No. Neptune does not have a solid surface for glaciers to be on.
Does Saturn have glaciers?
No, it does not. For glaciers you need a solid surface, which Saturn does not have.
Can you define the term erosion?
The process in which the surface of the earth is worn away by the actions of water, glaciers, winds, waves, etc _______________________________________________ nd dont forget gravity
How have glaciers changed the land in California?
glaciers weather the earths surface
Can the gravity on earth change the surface of the earth?
Yes. Gravity is essential to shaping Earth's surface. Masses of rock and soil periodically fall, roll, and slide down from hills, mountains, and cliffs. Rain and snow fall on the surface, causing erosion and forming streams and rivers that flow downhill. Glaciers flow downhill, carving into solid rock. All of these processes are driven by gravity.
What are two ways in which glaciers erode Earth's surface?
When glaciers form they scrape earth's surface as they advance. Also when glaciers melt it deposits the sediment it eroded from the land creating various land forms.
