Explain the difference between erosion and deposition?
Glacial erosion is the process by which a glacial flows over the land, picking up rocks. Glacial deposition is the process by which a glacier gathers a huge amount of rock and soil as it Erodes the land in the path
Do hills form from glacial erosions?
Well really the valleys BETWEEN hills form by glacial and/or other erosion. The hills are what's left behind.
U-shaped valleys and parallel grooves in bedrock are characteristics of erosion by?
glacial ice
Are glaciers an agent of erosion?
Yes. Look at any glacial (u-shaped) valley and the terminal moraine at the end where the glacier melts.
What is mass movement erosion?
its is when something happens on soil
How does glacial erosion begin?
Glacial erosion requires movement. Thus, glacial erosion begins as soon as the glacier starts moving.
What happens from glacial erosion?
Glacial erosion causes the formation of the following features:Hummocks of MoraineDrumlinsU-Shaped valleys/Glacial troughCorriesPyramidal peaksArêtesAlso note that glaciers erode by the following processes:AbrasionPluckingTransportation - Moraine as:Ground moraineLateral moraineMedial moraineEntrained within the glacierI hope this answers your question.
Does a you shaped valley indicate glacial erosion?
A 'U' shaped valley indicates glacial erosion.
What are the types of features that form from glacial erosion?
Glacial Erosion formed Yosemite Valley and the Sierra Nevada
Is a glacial lake a result of deposition or erosion?
A glacial lake is typically a result of both erosion and deposition. Glacial erosion carves out depressions in the landscape, creating basins where water accumulates. Meanwhile, glacial deposition can form moraines or other features that dam up water and contribute to the formation of a glacial lake.
Is a glacial Lake a result of erosion or deposition?
erosion
How is glacial erosion affecting people?
Erosion and weathering
What method of erosion caused valley?
The formation of valleys can be caused by different types of erosion, primarily by the flowing of water (fluvial erosion) or by glaciers (glacial erosion). Fluvial erosion occurs when water flows through a valley, gradually wearing down the rock and soil. Glacial erosion happens when moving glaciers cut and shape the land as they advance and retreat.
What are the three main types of erosion?
The 3 main types of glacial erosion are plucking, abrasion and freeze thaw.
What is formed by glacial erosion?
Eskers
What form by glacial erosion?
Eskers
Is esker cause by glacial erosion?
No, eskers are not caused by glacial erosion. Eskers are long, winding ridges of sand and gravel that are formed by meltwater streams flowing in tunnels within or under glaciers. Glacial erosion refers to the process by which glaciers carve and shape the land through the movement of ice and debris.
