What are two ways in which glaciers erode Earth's surface?
When glaciers form they scrape earth's surface as they advance. Also when glaciers melt it deposits the sediment it eroded from the land creating various land forms.
Where marshes formed when glaciers created depressions on the Earth's surface?
No
What are 2 causes of earthquake?
earthquakes can be caused by either tectonic or volcanic. Tectonic earthquakes are caused by movement of tectonic plates underneath the earth surface. Volcanic earthquakes are caused by volcanic activities underneath or above earth's surface.
Do earthquakes and glaciers change the earth surface?
yes they do and so do glaciers, hurricanes, tornadoes and many other things
In what ways do glaciers change earth's surface?
They smooth earths surface
What is a force or material that causes a change in Earth's surface?
Earthquakes or volcanic activity can change the surface of the Earth.
What are the natural events that change the earth?
Wind, rivers (water), glaciers, volcanoes, and earthquakes. They change by taking Earth bits away.
Glaciers weather surface rocks mainly through the process of?
Glaciers weather surface rocks mainly through the process of abrasion. Intermediate earthquakes occur 70 to 300 kilometers below the Earth's surface.
How do glaciers form and change the earth's surface?
by gravity, ice, wind, water
What are the internal agents of changes on the surface of the earth?
There are many forces that are responsible for making constructive changes on the surface of the Earth. These forces include volcanoes, earthquakes, wind, erosion, glaciers, and plate tectonics.
How do earthquakes change earth's surface?
Earthquakes change earth by moving earths plates
How are earthquakes volcanoes and asteroid strikes different from weathering and erosion?
Weathering and erosion change the surface of the earth very slowly. Earthquakes, volcanoes and asteroids change the surface immediately.
How did deposition change Earth's surface?
Not sure what depotion is but i'm pretty sure it was earthquakes
How does the stress in Earth's crust change the surface?
it means earthquakes will happen more often
What three things can cause slow change of the earths surface?
There are four main kinds of changes that can affect the earth's surface: 1)Earthquake 2)Flood 3)Valcano 4)Temperature
