Holes formed by huge blocks of glacier that have been burrowed into the ground called?
Holes that form by huge blocks of glacier and that have been burrowed into the ground are called kettles. There are many types of holes.
What is alpine glaciers?
An alpine glacier is a glacier that FORMED on a mountain. It doesn't have to BE on a mountain, just formed on one.
What kind of land forms can be formed when a glaciers begins melting back and deposits the sediment it has been carrying with?
When a glacier melts, it deposits sediment in various landforms known as glacial landforms. These include moraines, which are accumulations of debris at the glacier's edge, drumlins, which are elongated hills shaped by the glacier's movement, and outwash plains, formed by meltwater transporting and depositing sediments beyond the glacier's terminus. These features reflect the dynamic processes of glacial erosion and deposition, shaping the landscape as the ice retreats.
How does a geologist tell if a mountain chain was formed by the faulting of large blocks?
numerous folds and faults would appear in the bedrock
Who formed desktop publishing?

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.
The process in which fragments freeze to the bottom of a glacier and then are carried away when the glaciers are moved is called?
The process in which rock fragments freeze to the bottom of a glacier and are then carried away when the glacier moves is called plucking. After the last ice age, stranded ice blocks left behind by the continental glacier melted and formed kettles.
After the last ice age stranded ice blocks left behind by the continental glacier melted and formed what?
As the ice blocks left behind by the continental glacier melted after the last ice age, they formed bodies of water known as kettle lakes. These kettle lakes are depressions in the landscape caused by the melting of the ice blocks, which were then filled with water from the melted ice.
What process is it when Rock fragments freeze to the bottom of a glacier and are then carried away when the glacier moves?
The process in which rock fragments freeze to the bottom of a glacier and are then carried away when the glacier moves is called plucking. After the last ice age, stranded ice blocks left behind by the continental glacier melted and formed kettles.
When boulders sand clay and silt drop from a glacier it is called?
The material formed is called till. The structure formed is called a moraine.
How does a kettle lake formed?
It forms when huge blocks of ice remain, half buried in sand and gravel, A bowl shaped deppression that was formed by a block of ice and a glacier and then becomes filled with water.
A bowl-shaped basin formed near the beginning of a glacier is called a?
A Cirque
How do melting glaciers shape land?
When the glacier is formed the ice scratches the land. When the glacier recedes the ice will scar the earth. This is called glacial scarring.
