Yes. One very good example would be the striations caused by glacial abrasion.

Which erosional feature most likely formed on the surface of the bedrock under the glacial ice?

Striations would most likely form on the surface of the bedrock under the glacial ice. Striations are caused by the movement of large rocks embedded in the base of a glacier scraping across the bedrock, resulting in long, parallel grooves being carved into the bedrock surface.


What agent of erosion is striations?

Striations are usually caused by glaciers, which act as an agent of erosion by scraping and dragging rocks and debris across the surface of the Earth. This creates long, linear grooves called striations in the bedrock below.


What is a striation marking?

Striations are long, thin lines in the surface of something, usually multiple, and commonly all roughly or exactly parallel to each other. Picture dragging a stiff bristled floor broom across wet concrete - the marks it leaves behind are striations.


What would you suspect if you saw long striation on the surface of a rock?

A striation of any length is a sure sign of glacial activity in the past. A striation is formed when a glacier scrapes moraine (load) against the rock face, forming a mark known as a striation. The mark shows that the area was once dominated by glacial activity.


What is glacial striations?

Glacial striations are long, parallel scratches or grooves on bedrock caused by the movement of glaciers. As glaciers advance and retreat, they can pick up rocks and debris, which then act like sandpaper as the glacier moves, creating these striations on the underlying bedrock. Studying these features can provide information about the direction and extent of past glacial movement.


Is striation erosional or depositional?

Striation is typically erosional. Striations are long, narrow lines or grooves on a rock surface caused by the movement of a glacier, which acts as a powerful scouring tool that can scrape and polish the bedrock beneath it as it flows.


What is a Long scratch marks that are left behind as evidence of glaciers are called?

They are called striations.


What slow processes cause changes in the earth's surface?

Slow processes that cause changes in the Earth's surface include weathering (breaking down of rocks), erosion (movement of rock particles), and tectonic plate movement (which leads to earthquakes and mountain formation). These processes can happen over long periods of time and result in significant changes to the Earth's surface.


What is a long parallel scar gouged in the bedrock by glaciers?

A long parallel scar gouged in the bedrock by glaciers is called a glacial groove. These grooves are formed as glaciers move over the bedrock, picking up rocks and other debris that scrape the underlying surface. Over time, the repeated movement of the glacier creates these distinctive markings.

Long thin cells in animals that can contrast and cause movement?

muscle fibers


Which specific tissue contains long which specific tissue contains long cylindrical cells with striatiations?

Skeletal muscle tissue contains long cylindrical cells with striations. These striations are due to the organization of myofilaments within the muscle fibers, giving them a striped appearance under a microscope.
