Today glaciers are found on all continents EXCEPT?
Australia.Australia
On which continent are valley glaciers not found?
Australia has no continental glaciers, because the mountains do not receive sufficient snowfall to form them (at least not in the present era).
Where are three locations where glaciers are?
Three notable locations where glaciers can be found are Antarctica, which holds the largest ice sheet in the world; Greenland, home to the Greenland Ice Sheet; and the Himalayas, where the vast number of glaciers, including the Siachen and Gangotri glaciers, are crucial for the region's water supply. These glaciers play a vital role in Earth's climate and hydrology.
Where are alpine glaciers?
they are found on mountain valleys and polar regions
What are the three different types of glaciers?
There are more than three types of glaciers...but I believe you are looking for:Alpine Glacier (found on mountains)Valley GlaciersIce Sheet or Continental GlacierThe USGS has a great site dedicated to just types of glaciers....http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2004/1216/glaciertypes/glaciertypes.html
These form when weathered material is dropped offshore as sediment?
Alluvial fans
Where is an arkose sedimentary rock most likely found?
Alluvial Fans
What rock types will be in alluvial fans?
Rock types commonly found in alluvial fans include sedimentary rocks like sandstone, shale, and conglomerate, as well as igneous and metamorphic rocks that have eroded and been transported by rivers to the fan. The composition of alluvial fans can vary depending on the source rocks from which the sediments are derived.
Why are alluvial fans called fans?
Because they form and look like Fans
What creates alluvial fans?
erosion
Does river severn have an alluvial fan?
The River Severn does not have an alluvial fan. Rivers that empty into estuaries do not have alluvial fans.
What is the origin and appearance of a bajada?

Where are alluvial fans?
In Death Valley, CA
What is the compare and contrast of alluvial fans and deltas?
Alluvial fans are landforms created by sediment deposition at the base of a mountain, while deltas are landforms formed by deposition of sediment carried by a river where it meets a body of water. Both landforms are composed of sediment deposits, but alluvial fans are typically cone-shaped while deltas have a more complex shape with distributaries. Additionally, alluvial fans are typically found in arid or semi-arid regions, while deltas are common in areas where rivers meet oceans or lakes.
Where are alluvial fans located?
Alluvial fans are typically found at the base of steep mountain ranges or hills, where rivers or streams deposit sediment as they flow out and spread across a broader area. They are commonly seen in arid and semi-arid regions with high erosion rates. Examples of locations with prominent alluvial fans include Death Valley in California and the Himalayas in Asia.
What is a bajada in a desert?
A bajada is an alluvial plain formed at the base of a mountain by the coalescing of several alluvial fans.
