What is a feature formed by tributary glacier?

Answer 1

I know three: morains (a hill of dirt and rocks where the glacier stopped moving and then melted), carved valleys that are U-shaped vs. those valleys cut by a stream or river, rocks that are very smooth because of the ice and rocks they slid over.

Answer 2

Moraines, aretes, cols, horns, and cirques. As a glacier flows downward (even when retreating it's still flowing downhill) it is cycling dock debris, called glacial till, throughout itself. The till gets deposited along the sides of the glaciers, forming lateral moraines. When the glacier is stable in one location (when the rate of melting is equal to the rate of flowing), a terminal moraine forms at the nose of the glacier.

Cirques are the large bowls left on the mountain where the glacier came from. Horns are where three or four cirques all come together (look at a picture of the Matterhorn). Aretes are knife like rides either between two cirques or glacial valleys. Cols are low spots within cirques or aretes, usually named as passes.

Glacial valleys are U-shaped. A lake in a cirque is a tarn.

Answer 3

A feature formed by a tributary glacier is a tributary valley. This forms when a smaller glacier flows into a larger glacier and erodes the surrounding landscape, creating a distinct valley shape. Tributary valleys can be identified by their V-shaped profile and often merge into the main glacier valley.

Answer 4

valleys, mountains, canons, lakes, rivers, and hills.

Answer 5

a glacier next to a glacier A glacier that flows into a larger glacier.

Answer 6

Some features that are formed by glaciers are crevasses, which are large cracks or fissure in a glacier, ice shelves, and icebergs... (<--- The Titanic, LOL xD)

Answer 7

Pyramidal peaks, arêtes, cirques, U-shaped valleys, assorted moraines, drumlins and eskers are among the many features formed by glaciers.

Answer 8

A hanging valley.
