What else can I help you with?
How can you tell whether valley glaciers once existed in a mountainous region?
Look at the shape of the valleys. If they are V-shaped there were no valley glaciers; if they are U-shaped there were.
On which continent are valley glaciers not found?
Australia has no continental glaciers, because the mountains do not receive sufficient snowfall to form them (at least not in the present era).
What erosional features do you see in a valley glaciers?
Glaciers form U-shaped valleys. They make striations, drumlins, kettlelakes, eratics, moraines and cirque.
Was the Arkansas River Valley formed by erosion or depostion?
The Arkansas River was formed by erosion, not deposition.
What are the three different types of glaciers?
There are more than three types of glaciers...but I believe you are looking for:Alpine Glacier (found on mountains)Valley GlaciersIce Sheet or Continental GlacierThe USGS has a great site dedicated to just types of glaciers....http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2004/1216/glaciertypes/glaciertypes.html
How are continental and valley glaciers?
Continental glaciers are thicker and larger. Valley glaciers are formed on mountains; continental glaciers are formed on flat land.
How the Yosemite valley was formed?
It was formed by glaciers
How are valleys formed by glaciers?
Valleys are formed by glaciers through a process called glacial erosion. As glaciers move, they pick up rocks and debris, which act as tools to scrape and carve the underlying bedrock. Over time, this erosion deepens and widens the valley, creating the distinctive U-shape commonly associated with glacial valleys.
How is a continental and valley glaciers the same?
Continental glaciers and valley glaciers are both types of glaciers that form from accumulated snowfall. They both flow under the influence of gravity, albeit in different directions. While continental glaciers cover vast areas like an ice sheet, valley glaciers are confined to mountain valleys and flow down through them.
What caused the formation of Yosemite Valley in Sierra Nevada?
Yosemite Valley was formed by glaciers carving their way through the valley as they retreated. The glaciers are credited with forming the sheer cliff sides of the valley.
Was Yosemite valley formed by wind?
No. Wind can cause some erosion, but it cannot form valleys. Yosemite valley was formed by glaciers.
The small glaciers that exist in high mountainous areas are called?
its not mountain glaciers but its valley glaciers
The small glaciers that exist in high mountainout areas are called what?
Valley Glaciers :)
Dose a valley glacier or a contenental glacier or both cover entire land areas?
Valley glaciers are formed in high altitudes (e.g. mountains) and continental glaciers are formed in high latitudes (e.g. Greenland). Therefore, they both cover land areas but continental glaciers generally cover more area.
How did ice form Yosemite Valley?
Ice formed Yosemite Valley by carving it out. When glaciers many years ago retreated, they carved out the valley.
A low land between hills or mountains is a?
A low land between hills or mountains is called a valley. Valleys are typically formed through erosion by rivers or glaciers over time. They often have fertile soil and are important for agriculture and settlement.
What is the differences between v-valley and u-valley?
V-valley refers to a type of valley on a topographic map that has a V-shaped profile, typically formed by erosion from a river or stream. U-valley refers to a valley with a U-shaped profile, typically formed by glacial erosion. V-valleys are more narrow and have steeper sides compared to U-valleys.
