What is process of wearing away or moving of soil and rock by water wind and ice?
surface erosion-the process by which the surface of the earth is worn away by the action of water, glaciers, winds, waves, etc.
What is the reaction force if Sun's gravity pulling on Earth is the action force?
Earth's gravity pulling on the Sun.
In what manner do glaciers move?
A glacier flows by the force of gravity pulling it downhill and spreading it out. Sometimes this process causes cracks to form as the ice spreads faster on the outside than on the inside as gravity pulls on it, creating crevasses
How do glaciers form hill and plains?
Glaciers are made up of fallen snow that over many, many years becomes compressed into thickened ice masses. When this becomes too heavy, gravity causes the ice to flow very slowly, and the action of the ice cuts out plains and hills whilst travelling, picking up all the rock and other material in its way. The power of the ice cuts out softer material and grinds on the harder stuff. And land is shaped in this way.
As water is moves down through the ground what force is acting against it?
i dont know
What works against gravity as water infiltrates the soil and moves underground?
This force is called capillary action.
What force against gravity as water infiltrates the soil and moves underground?
This force is called capillary action.
What force work against gravity as water infiltrates the soil and moves underground?
This force is called capillary action.
What is a good call to action statement for melting glaciers?
A good call to action statement for melting glaciers is, "Write to your congressman today and ask them to make this a priority."
What is the grinding action of glaciers causes?
it is the creation of new landforms
What abrasive action forms loess?
Loess is windblown dust created by the abrasive action of moving glaciers.
How can 100 meter trees uptake water?
Capillary action and the nature of nutrients and water underground are reasons why 100 meter trees can uptake water. Capillary action is the reverse of gravity, which keeps things earth born and grounded. Gravity works downward whereas capillary action works upward.Additionally, nutrients and water underground aren't comfortable with their minimal or no presence elsewhere. So nutrients and water cooperate in moving out of the soil where they're present, and into tree roots and up tree trunks where they're not.
What is process of wearing away or moving of soil and rock by water wind and ice?
surface erosion-the process by which the surface of the earth is worn away by the action of water, glaciers, winds, waves, etc.
Was it the action of sandstorms glaciers or floods that formed most mountain lakes?
Yes
Is loess left in the land following the action of continental glaciers?
Loess is not left in the land.
How does an erosion in an snowy area occur?
Either by that action of Ice made from compacted snow (Glaciers), by frost heave, or by the action of meltwater.
Why it is hard to see glacial erosion in action?
Because glaciers move very, very slowly.
