well glaciers grow and retract based on the temperature of the earth. glaciers weight a lot. A bag of ice from the party store weighs 20lbs and is less then two cubic feet of ice. Now image the weight of a block of ice that is a mile high and hundred of miles across growing. It digs into the earth and pushes it around. As it grows it picks up boulders and so on and builds things up like hills or cuts things out like lakes. Likewise as it melts and retracts it dumps things that it picked up as it was growing and got frozen in the ice.

Why was sandstone used to build the cumbria bridge and not limestone?
limestone is not used in Columbia because crevices are present on its surface, while sand stone has porous surface which readily absorbs pollutants.

How are earthquakes eruptions different from volcanoes?
Earthquakes do not exactly erupt. Earthquakes are caused by the movement the Earth's tectonic plates. Yes, Earthquakes can contribute to the eruptions of Volcanoes because when one plate goes under the other water could be taken with it down into the Mantle. The water and sometimes air when is in the mantle is forced to find an exit and those exits are Volcanoes. When they go into the Volcano pressure builds up and the Volcano erupts. So really Earthquakes are caused by the movement of the Earths tectonic plates while Volcanoes are caused by a build up of pressure in the Earths Mantle.
How do peruvians build their houses?
they build it out of mud bricks and straw
Are there any drawbacks from mining?
In fact, mining is sure to cause some environmental damage. If you want to build a mine but do not want to have too much damage to the environment, you can remove dust from the ore production and environmental protection process, so that it will reduce the drawbacks.
How do glaciers tear down or build up earths surface?
The some times make kettle lakes and deposit till
How do glaciers both remove and build up Earth's surface?
Glaciers remove Earth's surface through erosion, as they pick up and transport rocks and sediments. They build up Earth's surface by depositing these materials as they melt, forming landforms like moraines and drumlins.
How do glacier both remove and build up Earth's surface?
Glaciers pick up large amounts of earth as they move along the Earth's surface. Then, when they melt, they deposit all of the dirt and rock that they have picked up. This results in the reshaping of the earth's surface, as earth is removed from one place, and built up in another.
How will three processes act together to wear down and build up earths surface?
d
The power of endogenic and exogenic forces?
Exogenous forces are forces that work above the earths surface and break down landforms. Endogenous forces are forces that work below the earths surface and build up land forms
Do glaciers erode and build?
Yes
What are 2 ways glaciers build up the land?
Glaciers are forces of erosion of the land they tend to do the opposite of build it up, they wear it down. However they do deposit moraines and when they melt the land springs up a little.
Do deconstructive forces such as erosion helps to build up the Earths surface?
Yes, deconstructive forces like erosion contribute to reshaping and sculpting the Earth's surface by breaking down rocks and carrying sediments to new locations. While erosion may remove material from one area, it can also deposit these sediments elsewhere, helping to build up landforms like beaches, deltas, and floodplains over time.
How does a erosion cycle illustrates processes that build up and tear down earths surface?
The erosion cycle demonstrates how forces such as water, wind, and ice break down rocks and transport sediments to different locations. This process wears down the Earth's surface over time. Conversely, geological processes like deposition and sedimentation build up the Earth's surface by depositing sediments in new locations.
What process wear down and build up the earths surface?
erosion, deposition, and weathering.....magma from volcanos (under water volcanos also) makes new land as well as the rare asteroid or comet.
What build proteins?
Ribosomes build up proteins. They provide surface for that
Why do glaciers change over time?
because the weather can erode them o away or even build them up, it depnds on the weather
