How does a glacier help create new soil a by carrying living plant material to the ocean b by scraping small particles off large rocks c by melting rocks along its path down the valley?
B) A glacier helps create new soil by scraping small particles off large rocks as it moves downhill. The grinding action of the glacier against the bedrock breaks down the rocks into smaller particles, which eventually mix with water, organic matter, and other materials to form soil.
How is soil transported?
Soil can be transported by water, wind, or ice. Water erosion is the most common form of soil transport, as it can pick up and carry soil particles to new locations. Wind erosion occurs in dry, arid regions where wind can lift and move soil particles. Ice transport happens when glacier movement carries soil and rocks over long distances.
When was New Soil created?

Two major glaciers in the south island?

What type of resource is soil?
Soil is a natural resource that provides support for plant growth, regulates water flow, and acts as a habitat for various organisms. It is essential for agriculture, helps in carbon sequestration, and plays a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity.

What year did Martha's vineyard get biult?
About 1800 B.C. It was made by glacier pushing soil of New England.
How does a glacier contribute of the creation of new valley?
The glacier will melt eventually, and then form a valley, as well as water flowing through that valley; and it may even help form new valleys.
What is the longest glacier in New Zealand?

Which New Zealand Glacier is the longest in the Southern Hemisphere?

The longest glacier in New Zealand is the Tasman Glacier, currently 27 km long.
Can you name four NZ glaciers?

Does Burnt soil still have macronutrients?
Yes, it does. The soil tries to fulfill the needs to make new soil.
Where is New Zealands glacier?
Haupapa / Tasman Glacier[2] is the largest glacier in New Zealand, and one of several large glaciers which flow south and east towards the Mackenzie Basin from the Southern Alps in New Zealand's South Island.
What is New Zealands longest glacier?
NZ does have glaciers. The Fox glacier and the Franz Josef glacier. Both are in the South Island. Fox glacier is 13kms long and the Franz Josef glacier is 11kms long. Tasman Glacier is the longest at 29kms.
When new snow is added to a glacier faster than ice and snow melt does the glacier get larger or smaller?
When new snow is added to a glacier faster than the rate at which ice and snow melt, the glacier gets larger because the accumulation of new snow exceeds the loss from melting. This process contributes to glacier growth and expansion.
Where is a famous glacier?
