When the ice is gone hanging valleys may form?
Dessert
Ice erodes rock and deposits sediments to form?
Glacial ice erosion will form: * Corries (cirques) * Aretes * Pyramidal Peaks * U-shaped troughs * Hanging Valleys * Truncated Spurs * Rouche Moutonees * Striations * Rock Steps Sediment deposition (resulting from glacial processes) will form: * Ice-transported boulders * Erratics * Lateral moraines * Medial moraines * Terminal moraines * Recessional moraines * Push moraines * Varves * Eskers * Delta kames * Kame terraces * Braided streams * Flat bottoms to U-shaped valleys
What are Land forms created by a glacier?
terminal moraines--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------They can be:Cirques, bowl-shaped depressions where glacial ice cuts back into the mountain walls.Horns, sharp, pyramid-like peaks that form when three or more alpine glaciers carve a mountain.Arête, a jagged ridges that form between two or more cirques that cut into the same mountain.Also U-shaped valleys and Hanging Valleys.
Glaciers carved basins that filled with water to form lakes?
No, glaciers form from snow that falls high in the mountains then consolidates and refreezes into ice under the weight of later snows. This ice and snow then flows down the mountains into valleys producing a characteristic U-shaped erosion pattern in those valleys.

How do you spell iceicle?
The correct spelling is "icicle" (a long, thin hanging ice form)
How were the fjords of british Columbia created?
Glaciers eroded valleys, and when the ice melted, the valleys were flooded, and became fjords.
What is the difference between glaciers ice sheets and ice fields?
valley glaciers are constrained by their surroundings. And ice sheets dont Ice sheets are large
What is a hanging spike of ice?
An icicle
What is ice hanging down?
An icicle?
What is ice hanging from your roof?
icicle
Can ice cause weathering and erosion?
Ice, as glaciers during the ice-ages, scoured mountains and formed 'U' shaped valleys.
