What is the main cause for accelerated erosion?
movement of glaciers
Can valleys cause erosion?
A valley itself cannot cause erosion, but can be hugely affected by erosion. Usually Valley erosion is caused by glaciers, a common agent of erosion.
How can erosion cause weathering?
Erosion does not cause weathering. Erosion is a TYPE of weathering in which surface soil and rock are worn away through the action of glaciers, water, and wind.
What happens when glaciers go through erosion?
Glaciers do not go through erosion, they erode.
Do glaciers cause water erosion?
Glaciers cause erosion because of the immense weight and pressure they can exude onto surfaces. Fine grains of sediment get lodged into the bottom and sides of the glacier, making it so abrasive that it scratches grooves into rock as it moves.
What causes erosion to occur magnets or glaciers?
Magnets do not play any role in erosion. Glaciers are ony of many things that cause erosion.

What are large ice sheets that cause erosion as they move?

What do rivers glaciers wind and waves cause?
Weathering and Erosion.
How is erosion caused by rivers different than erosion caused by glaciers?
the cause by the change of the earth
Can mountains cause erosion?
No, it is they that are eroded by such things as rain, rivers and glaciers.
How can erosion cause weathering?
Erosion does not cause weathering. Erosion is a TYPE of weathering in which surface soil and rock are worn away through the action of glaciers, water, and wind.
How are glaciers and erosion the same and different?
Well glaciers are big chunks of ice and glacial erosion is the erosion caused by glaciers
