Why was it possible for glaciers to deposit materials across the land?

glaciers are moving masses of ice, and when they move, due to their weight and angle on a mountain or other place, they will pick it up in the ice, and move it and when it melts it depostited as silt in the ground.
ps: you should know this, im in 8th grade for god sake, man!

What weathering material leaves ridges of broken rock and soil?
Glaciers pick up rocks and soil as they move across land. When the glaciers melt, they deposit the rocks and soil. Today there are ridges of rocks and soil where glaciers once were.
When glaciers drag attached rocks across the land?
create a moraine

What does glaciers scraping rocks across the earth's surface mean?
hahahahahahhahahhahhhahaha
Are continental glaciers found high in mountain valleys?
No. Valley glaciers are found in high mountain valleys. Continental glaciers, also called ice sheets, move across vast expanses of land regardless of terrain.
Large bodies of ice that move across earth's surface?
Large bodies of ice that move across the Earth's surface are glaciers.
How was the landscape in Norway created?
Glaciers moved across the land, and made large cuts. These glaciers than melted and got filled up with water making them fjords.
How does material deposited by glaciers differ from material deposited by streams?
To answer this, think about the way water moves and how ice moves. Now think of steady fast-moving streams of water and massive hulking glaciers scraping across the land. Streams push sediments along and sort them into normalized groups. Sand is separated from stones of different sizes. Glacier pick up rocks in their slow progress and deposit them later as the ice melts. The streams' depositions are very regular; the glaciers' depositions are very irregular.
What is the process that utilizes a carrier to move materials across the plasma membrane in the direction of the concentration gradient that does not use ATP?
Active Transport
How do glaciers shapes earths surface?
Glaciers carve out vallys and lakes. They will pick up sediment and move it to other places.
A non-energy requiring process that moves materials across a cell membrane with the concentration gradient.?
The process of moving materials across the cell membrane without the expenditure of energy is called passive transfer
How does water move across the surface of the Earth?
Floods Waterfalls Glaciers melting into water bodies rain (water cycle)
