∙ 8y agoWhen a glacier erodes rock, the hydrosphere (glacier) is interacting with the lithosphere (rock).

How is a crag rock formation created?
A crag rock formation, or a cragg or crag and tail, is created from an area of rock that is more resistant than its surroundings. When a glacier or ice sheet moves over that area the force of the glacier erodes the rest of the softer land, leaving the harder land sticking out, thus creating a crag.
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.
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 a glacier carving it 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
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 is moraine erosion or deposition?
moraine is a sedimentary rock. All sedimentary rocks are formed from the deposition of eroded sediments, pebbles, boulders... etc. Morain is a glacial deposit. As a glacier moves over the land it erodes and transports bits of rock. When the glacier melts it deposits these bits of rock to form morain.
How is a crag rock formation created?
A crag rock formation, or a cragg or crag and tail, is created from an area of rock that is more resistant than its surroundings. When a glacier or ice sheet moves over that area the force of the glacier erodes the rest of the softer land, leaving the harder land sticking out, thus creating a crag.
How does the glacier erode the land beneath it?
A glacier erodes by the following processes:Plucking: the physical plucking of rocks from the rock face beneath it by freezing around it, then moving forwards, pulling it with it.Abrasion: the scraping of a rock entrained within the glacier against the rock faceRemoval: rocks can be entrained within the glacier, at the sides, in the middle or at the bottom and are transported by the processes listed belowDo not confuse the following with erosion:Rotational slip: related to erosion closely. This is where the corrie glacier rotates round in the hollow, carving it out, but the actual erosion is done by the processes aboveGlacial movement: a glacier moves by four processes: rotational slip, basal slippage, internal deformation and due to gravity. This is not the physical erosion of the rock, but just the way in which the glacier moves.
This forms when rock erodes?
Soil

What happens to phosporus that erodes from rock and soil?
the grains of the rock
How are glacial troughs formed?
A glacier trough is also known as a U-shaped valley and is formed when a glacier passes through it. The glacier erodes the bottom of the valley through abrasion, and the sides of the valley through freeze-thaw weathering. It wears away the softer rock but when it gets to the harder, tougher rock it can't erode it to give the glacial trough its shape. Hope this helps!
Do a igneous rock become a sedimentary rock in the rock cycle?
yes it erodes
Rock erodes to expose layering is?
Sedimentary.
When a tree root splits a rock what happens to the pieces of rock?
the rock erodes into soil
Is a glacier called a rock?
A glacier is a mass of frozen water, therefore it cannot be considered a rock.
What are hollow spheres in a limestone rock called?
Hollow spheres in a limestone rock could be called pockets or geodes.
