Where are alpine glaciers?
they are found on mountain valleys and polar regions
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 erosional features do you see in a valley glaciers?
Glaciers form U-shaped valleys. They make striations, drumlins, kettlelakes, eratics, moraines and cirque.
What are 4 effects of ice age glaciers from the formation of major erosional and depositional features?
what is the answer
Where is the Alpine Art Center in Alpine Utah located?
The address of the Alpine Art Center is: 450 Alpine Hwy, Alpine, UT 84004
What five landscape features formed by alpine glaciers?
Do not
Why do continental glaciers smooth the landscape and alpine glaciers create ragged landscape?
I only know that alpine glaciers can carve deep u-shaped valleys in the mountains.
Where do you find alpine glaciers?
The alpine glaciers are high in the mountains.
What glaciers create cirques on sides of mountains?
Glaciers that create cirques on the sides of mountains are called cirque glaciers. These glaciers form in bowl-shaped depressions on the slopes of mountains and are responsible for eroding and shaping the characteristic amphitheater-like features known as cirques. Examples of cirque glaciers can be found in mountain ranges around the world, such as the Alps, Andes, and Himalayas.
Why continental glaciers smooth the landscape and alpine glaciers create a rugged landscape?
beacause alpine glaciers are bad for the enviromental energy called phleux that makes chemicals interact with each other smoothing the landscape
What are glaciers formed in mountains called?
Glaciers formed in mountains are called mountain glaciers or alpine glaciers. They are found in high-altitude regions and flow downhill through valleys.
What kind of glaciers are Antarctica and Alpine?
Antarctica is a continental glacier. Alpine glaciers are a different type of glacier.
What are 5 ways that alpine glaciers are different from continental glaciers?
Alpine glaciers are smaller in size and are found in mountainous regions, while continental glaciers cover much larger areas of land. Alpine glaciers move down valleys, while continental glaciers flow outwards in all directions from a central ice dome. Alpine glaciers are influenced by local topography and weather conditions, while continental glaciers are influenced by global climate patterns. Alpine glaciers tend to have higher melt rates due to their lower elevation compared to continental glaciers. Alpine glaciers are more accessible for study and research compared to the remote and harsh environments of continental glaciers.
How are glaciers different from alpine glaciers?
They difference between them is where there flow. Continental glaciers are enormous ice sheets, and are found in Greenland and Antarctica. Alpine glaciers form in mountain valleys.
Would most features of alpine glaciation be preserved in the geologic record?
Depends on what is meant by the word 'features'. Alpine glaciation tends to create certain recognizable features like cirques and U-shaped valleys, and the sediments plucked by the glaciation can be traced back to their source by careful examination.
What is the difference between alpine and continental glaciers?
Alpine glaciers form in mountainous regions and are confined within valleys or cirques, while continental glaciers are large ice sheets that cover vast land areas. Alpine glaciers are typically smaller and more fragmented compared to the continuous ice sheets of continental glaciers.
How are alpine glaciers and continental glaciers different?
i dont know or care
