Is a fiord a valley before it was glaciated?
A fjord is a valley whose characteristic shape was created by a glacier, so it is a valley after it was glaciated.
2 What does it mean to say a glacier is retreating?
The glacier is melting faster than it is sliding down the valley.
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.
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.
What is the worlds largest glacier and how big is it?
The world's largest glacier is the Lambert Glacier. It is 320 miles long and 40 miles wide.
What is the shape of a valley left behind by a glacier?
The shape of a valley carved by a glacier is U shaped. A valley carved by a river is V shaped.
What is the shape of a glacier valley?
A glacier valley typically has a U-shape, with steep sides and a flat bottom. This shape is the result of the erosion and scouring action of the glacier as it moves downhill, carving out the landscape over time.
What is the movement of a glacier?
As a glacier moves through a valley, it digs deep into the walls and floor . A once-narrow valley that had a V shape becomes wider. As a glacier moves through, the valley becomes U shape .
What shape do glacier created valley have?
U Wide
What is the shape of a valley that is eroded by a stream and a glacier?
A stream shaped valley is usually 'V' shaped. A glacier formed valley is usually 'U' shaped.
What causes a valley shape?
When the glacier is moving down the side of the valley it scrapes of the rocks. The grinding changes the shape of the valley so that it is rounded.
What causes a glacial valley to be u shape?
When the glacier is moving down the side of the valley it scrapes of the rocks. The grinding changes the shape of the valley so that it is rounded.
Is a fiord a valley before it was glaciated?
A fjord is a valley whose characteristic shape was created by a glacier, so it is a valley after it was glaciated.
Is the snowball glacier continental glacier or valley glacier?
It is a valley glacier
What is a sentence with the word glacier?
The glacier was huge.A v-shaped valley is a valley that was shaped by a glacier.
Which landform can a moving mountain glacier carve?
A moving mountain glacier can carve a U-shaped valley. As the glacier moves downhill, it erodes the sides and bottom of the valley, creating a distinctive U-shaped cross-section. The glacier's immense weight and motion combined with erosion from the ice can shape the landform over time.
Is the Tasman glacier continental glacier or valley glacier?
The Tasman Glacier is a valley glacier. It is located in the Southern Alps of New Zealand and flows down the Tasman Valley. Valley glaciers form in mountainous regions and flow along valleys carved by rivers.
