What type of weathering is a glacier?
it is when a glacier moves into a large rock mass, cutting its way through.
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 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

Rock deposited by water melted from a glacier?
Igneous Rock molten rock igneous rock is when it cools.
How does a glacier contribute to the creation of new valleys?
By dragging rock and dirt between mountains and hills as it moves
Where do you find moraines?
A moraine is the accumulation of solid material - rock, gravels, sand and clay, carried by a glacier, and deposited when the glacier shrank. The material is mainly from avalanches off surrounding mountains, which include rocky material as well as ice and snow.
How do glacial form?
Glacial erratics aren't exactly formed. They were deposited by glaciers that were moving in that area at one time. improved= Glacial erratics are exactly formed. Because a glacier is so heavy, the glacier can pluck large rocks as the glacier moves. When the rock is too heavy for the glacier to hold, or the glacier is retreating, it then deposits the rock in a place where it wouldn't usually be found. This is what an erratic is. A large piece of rock in an unusual surrounding. i hope this helps :)
What is a large pile of rock and debris left by a receding glacier?
Moraine erratic(apex)

Where might find mountains of metamorphic rock?
At the mall
