Why is weathering important to the rock cycle?
If there is no weather on earth we might not be able to live. weather also brings us food by giving us rain for our crops.
Where do glaciers depost the earth and rock as they move forward and advance?
Glaciers often push earth and rock from beneath themselves as they move forward. Many natural lakes were formed by glaciers carving the earth as they passed.
How can alpine glaciers create these features?
Alpine glaciers create distinctive features through processes of erosion and deposition. As glaciers move down mountainous terrain, they carve out U-shaped valleys and sharp peaks, known as horns, through abrasion and plucking of rock. Additionally, when glaciers melt, they deposit sediment in the form of moraines, which are ridges of debris left at the glacier's edge. These processes collectively shape the dramatic landscapes characteristic of alpine environments.
What is The rock material deposited by glaciers as they melt and retreat?
They are known as moraines.
What does wind eroding rock deposit?
it deposits dust and other molecule found in the rock
How does glaciers and rivers form new rocks?
Glaciers and rivers transport eroded rock material (sediment), that can form new sedimentary rock after deposition.

How did the rock called conglomerate form?
origins from rivers oceans glaciers and deposit type is clastic color is variable
How does nature erode and and deposit rock?
Water erodes small rocks by flowing over them,, ice glaciers drag rocks with them.
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.
What best describes the impact of glaciers upon the surface of the earth?
Glaciers have a significant impact on shaping the Earth's surface by eroding rock and soil as they move, creating features like U-shaped valleys and cirques. They also transport and deposit sediments, contributing to the formation of landforms such as moraines and drumlins. Additionally, melting glaciers can lead to changes in sea levels and impact global climate patterns.
What is the rock material deposited by glaciers called?
The rock material deposited by glaciers is called "glacial till." This sediment consists of a mixture of clay, silt, sand, gravel, and boulders that glaciers grind and transport as they move. When glaciers melt, they leave behind this unsorted debris, which can form various landforms such as moraines and drumlins.
Do valley glaciers deposit till and out wash?
yes, along with continental glaciers
Which factor can transport sediments?
Sediments in sedimentary rock can be transported by wind, water, or glaciers
Is moraine created by erosion or deposition?
Moraine is created by deposition. It forms when glaciers transport rocks and sediments as they move, then deposit these materials at the glacier's edge as it melts or retreats.
What are 3 ways a glacier can change the shape of land?
Glaciers can pick up and drop boulders Glaciers dig furrows in the ground where they have passed Glaciers are able to move mountains out of their way
How do glacier assist in rock being transported to a new place?
Glaciers transport rocks by carrying them within the ice as the glacier moves downslope. As glaciers melt, they deposit rocks and sediment in new locations, a process known as glacial deposition. Glacial erosion also occurs as the ice scrapes and plucks rocks from the bedrock, further aiding in the transportation of rocks to different areas.
