What is the name of the glacier that has frozen to bedrock?
The name of a glacier that has frozen to bedrock is rock glacier. A rock glacier is formed by angular blocks of frozen rock that form in the valley of glaciers.
Which two spheres interact when a glacier erodes a rock?
Which two spheres interact when a glacier erodes rock
Is a glacier called a rock?
A glacier is a mass of frozen water, therefore it cannot be considered a rock.
What feature is the result of glacier carving out rock as it moves?
The feature that is the result of a glacier carving out rock as it moves is a roche moutonnees. It is a rock formation created by the passage of glacier ice. Or a terminal moraine

The process in which a glacier loosens and picks up rock as it moves is called?
Plucking is the process in which a glacier freezes around cracked and broken rock and when it moves downhill, the rock is plucked from the back wall of the glacier.
Is a glacier a rock?
No, it is composed of ice which though solid is not considered a rock. They often transport rocks cast off by the mountain.
Rock deposited by water melted from a glacier?
Igneous Rock molten rock igneous rock is when it cools.
What is the name of the glacier that has frozen to the bedrock?
Glaciers that have frozen to rock are sometimes known as rock glaciers. They can also be referred to as a mountain glacier or an alpine glacier. The study of glaciers is called glaciology.
What moraines are ridges of rock debris formed in front of a moving glacier.?
Ridges of rock debris that form in front of a glacier are called terminal moraines at the point that the glacier stops moving ahead.
What type of weathering is a glacier?
it is when a glacier moves into a large rock mass, cutting its way through.
Can sedimentary rock change into other sedimentary rocks?
The sedimentary rock could, for instance, be found on a mountain and be crushed to dust by a huge ice glacier moving over it. The resulting dusty (or bigger) rock particles much later reach the lower end of the glacier and are washed into a lake or into the ocean where they sink to the bottom. Wait, oh, maybe half a million years, and the particles that sank to the bottom might turn into another sedimentary rock, altogether.
