What is the difference between subatomic particles and elementary particles?
Subatomic particles are proton, neutron, electron; these particle are some examples of the large group of elementary particles.
Why does snow that forms glaciers change to ice?
The snow changes the ice because in order to create the large mass of ice the temperature must freeze the huge clump of snow into a large mass of ice, thus creating the glacier, and so forth the glaciers would then be considered the large mass of ice that was meant to be formed.
How do you break matter into small particles?
You build a "Large Hadron Collider".
Do glaciers move quickly slowly or not at all?
Glaciers move slowly.
How do you change eggshell paint to flat?
No, the particles are too large, use talc.
Which one of the following statement is accurate regarding glaciers and erosion striations caused by moving glaciers help determine the age of a rock?
The statement that is accurate is that glaciers can carry both small particles and large boulders. Glaciers can carry both small particles and large boulders.
How are glaciers able to carry large particles with ease?
Yes. The larger rocks require more energy to move, so may be the first to be left behind by a melting glacier.
Do glaciers erode the base of mountains into basins called cirques?
Glaciers can carry both small particles and large boulders. The erosion caused by glaciers is caused by the rocks and debris carried along with the ice, NOT the ice itself.
Why do glaciers move very slowly yet they are able to carry large particales with ease?
Glaciers carry large objects because of their huge mass. The pressure they exert is enough to carve huge lakes, so sliding a boulder is not a challenge.
Can ice carry sediment?
Yes. Glaciers carry large amounts of sediment. When that sediment is deposited it is called glacial till.
What are glaciers made up of?
Glaciers are not made of rock; they are made of ice. Glaciers can contain rocks, but not of any particular type. Rather, they carry whatever type of rock they are going over or have gone over.
What natural forces can cause erosion?
The three natural causes of erosion are wind, water and glaciers. In terms of carrying capacity, glaciers are capable of eroding the most, since they can carry anything from tiny grains to huge boulders. Water comes next since, depending on how fast, for example, a river runs, fairly large rock pieces can be carried along. Wind is last, since it generally can only carry the tiniest of particles.
What carries rock and soil particles?
glaciers, flowing water or wind
How can glaciers erode rocks?
The glacier can carry rocks. The moving of the glacier.
What are large rocks transported by?
Glaciers
What is the measure of the largest particles of a stream can carry?
The measure of the largest particles a stream can carry is capacity.
What is Uptake of large particles?
Uptake of large particles
