What is The rock material deposited by glaciers as they melt and retreat?
They are known as moraines.
How are wind erosion and water erosion alike?
They both change the Earth's surface and they both change landforms into a different shape.
How have glaciers changed earth?
Glaciers have significantly shaped Earth's landscape through processes like erosion and deposition. As they advance and retreat, they carve valleys, create fjords, and form landforms such as moraines and drumlins. Additionally, glaciers store vast amounts of freshwater, influencing sea levels and ecosystems. Their melting due to climate change is also contributing to rising sea levels and altering habitats worldwide.
What erosional features do you see in a valley glaciers?
Glaciers form U-shaped valleys. They make striations, drumlins, kettlelakes, eratics, moraines and cirque.
What happens when glaciers move?
When glaciers move, they erode the land beneath them by scraping and plucking rocks and sediments. This process can create valleys, fjords, and other landforms. Additionally, as glaciers melt and retreat, they deposit the sediments and rocks they have carried with them, shaping the landscape further.
Is a glaciers a mager land form?
Yes, glaciers are major landforms. They are large masses of ice that can shape and sculpt the surrounding landscape through processes like erosion and deposition. Glaciers play a significant role in shaping the Earth's surface over long periods of time.
What month does the glaciers melt?
Any month. Probably won't make much of a difference on what month it

What can cause new landforms?
rivers volcanoes glaciers
What changes of landforms slowly moving glaciers?
Glaciers can carve out valleys and fjords as they slowly move over the land, eroding the landscape. They can also deposit sediment as they melt, forming moraines and drumlins. Additionally, glaciers can reshape the land by creating features like cirques, aretes, and U-shaped valleys.
What is Earth's landforms?
the earth's landforms are valleys, plateus, mountains, plains, hills, loess. and glaciers
Can acidic water cause glaciers to melt?
Water can speed up the rate at which glaciers melt. Whether the water is acidic or not has no effect.
Describe how a cirque form?
Valley glaciers melt and it make a U shaped profile (cirque) ~W
