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.
Where are alpine glaciers?
they are found on mountain valleys and polar regions
What do you call pointed ridge left by glaciers eroding rocks in two directions?
The pointed ridge left by glaciers eroding rocks in two directions is called a "horn." Horns are formed when multiple glaciers erode a mountain peak from different sides, creating a sharp, pyramidal shape. A well-known example of a horn is the Matterhorn in the Alps.
Where are the vast ice sheets and glaciers found on the earth today?
The vast ice sheets and glaciers on Earth today are primarily located in Antarctica and Greenland, which contain the majority of the planet's freshwater ice. Smaller glaciers can be found in mountain ranges across the world, including the Himalayas, the Andes, the Rockies, and the Alps. In addition, ice caps and outlet glaciers exist in regions like the Arctic and parts of Canada and Alaska. These ice formations are essential indicators of climate change and play a critical role in global sea levels.
Do glaciers move quickly slowly or not at all?
Glaciers move slowly.
Why is the melting of glaciers an urgent environmental concern?
Why is the melting of glaciers an urgent enviromental concern
The small glaciers that exist in high mountain areas are called what?
The small glaciers that exist in high mountainous areas were called mountain glaciers or cirque glaciers.
What are glaciers found in mountains called?
mountain glaciers
The small glaciers that exist in high mountainous areas are called?
its not mountain glaciers but its valley glaciers
How many glaciers are on mountain rainier?
Mount Rainier has three glaciers.
What are the small glaciers that exist in high mountainous areas?
mountain glaciers
Are Alps the same thing as glaciers?
No. The Alps are a mountain range in Europe. Glaciers are large masses of ice that move slowly due to their weight. Glaciers are commonly found in mountain ranges such as the Alps/
What are the two kinds of glaciers and are they different?
It is valley and continental glaciers they are different because continental glaciers are the largest, and valley glaciers are on the top of mountain peaks.
What part of the world are the glaciers melting in?
From what I've read recently, Glacier melt activity is happening all over/around the Earth; the Arctic Glaciers are receeding, the Antarctic Glaciers are receeding, the Glaciers in Glacier National Park in the US are almost gone, and the Glaciers in the Alps are receeding.
How will melting glaciers affect the mountain streams and rivers downstream?
If mountain glaciers disappear there will be no source for many mountain streams, which will then dry up. Many rivers will be reduced in size as a result.
Are mountain glaciers larger than ice sheets?
No. Ice sheets are the largest kind of glacier, many times larger than mountain glaciers.
Are mountain glaciers generally larger than ice sheets?
No. Ice sheets are the largest kind of glacier, many times larger than mountain glaciers.
