Glaciers impact weathering by grinding rock surfaces as they move, a process known as abrasion. This can break down rocks into smaller pieces, accelerating the weathering process. Additionally, as glaciers melt, they release large amounts of sediment that can further weather surrounding rocks.

Which is not a factor that affects the rates of weathering in rocks?
There are not many factors which do not affect weathering in rocks.Two factors do not affect weathering are:Wind, sea and river erosion does not have any impact. No erosive processes cause weathering directly. Glaciers, however, may influence the climate of a region to the extent that more freeze-thaw weathering occursThe rock cycle does not affect weathering. This includes all actions and movements of rocks, though uplift and fault movement may cause more exposure to weathering, which may increase the rate of weathering

What are the agents (causes)of physical weathering?
Physical weathering is primarily caused by factors such as temperature changes, ice formation, wind erosion, and the action of plant roots. Additionally, abrasion from water, glaciers, and rockslides can also contribute to physical weathering processes.
What field of science studies the glaciers?
Glaciology is the field of science that studies glaciers. Glaciologists investigate the formation, movement, and properties of glaciers, as well as their impact on climate and the environment.
How is glacier a source of both weathering and erosion?
Glaciers move (very slowly) therefore functioning as a source of erosion. They are also a source of weathering "in situ" due to their freeze/thaw cycles causing expansion/contraction of adjacent stone, causing physical deformation.
How glaciers cause weathering?
because when its freezing the water turn into glaciers
How does ice causes weathering?
Glaciers
How can you use the words glaciers and weathering in a sentence?
Wind and weathering can cause glacier erosion.
Glaciers are agents of weathering?
not just glaiciers, but all ice, (including glaiciers) are agents of weathering.
What do rivers glaciers wind and waves cause?
Weathering and Erosion.
What is the weathering away of the earths surface by wind glaciers and moving water called?
Help me
How do humans impact weathering?
by studying it
How do glaciers deposit sediment?
Its deposits sediment by picking the sediment up which is called plucking.(weathering)
What weathering material leaves ridges of broken rock and soil?
Glaciers pick up rocks and soil as they move across land. When the glaciers melt, they deposit the rocks and soil. Today there are ridges of rocks and soil where glaciers once were.

Do glaciers cause chemical weathering when they scrape rocks?
Yes, glaciers can cause chemical weathering when they scrape rocks by exposing new surfaces to chemical reactions with water and air. The mechanical action of the glacier can also break down minerals within the rocks, allowing for chemical weathering to occur more easily.
