When the ice on a glacier moves it creates groves in the earth.
Water gets into little cracks in rocks, stone, bricks etc, when the water freezes into ice it expands making the crack larger, this process repeats until eventually chunks of rock, brick, stone break away, over hundreds. thousands even millions of years the landscape changes because of this erosion by 'ice'
What else can I help you with?
What is a steep high wall of rock earth or ice?
A steep high wall of rock, earth, or ice is known as a cliff. Cliffs are often formed by erosion and can vary in size and shape, providing both natural beauty and challenges for climbers and hikers.
How much of the Earth was covered in ice during the Ice Age?
During the Ice Age, approximately 30 of the Earth's surface was covered in ice.
There are two ice caps on Earth what are their names?
A polar ice cap is a high latitude region of a planet that is covered in ice. The two ice caps on Earth are the Antarctic ice sheet and the Arctic sea ice.
What percent of the Earth is covered by ice?
Approximately 10 of the Earth's surface is covered by ice.
What forces shape the eaths features?
The main forces that shape Earth's features are plate tectonics, which cause earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountains; erosion by water, wind, and ice, which shapes the landscape over time; and human activities, such as deforestation and urbanization, which also alter the Earth's features.
What forces shape earth surface?
They are Wind, Waves, Glaciers and Water/Ice
How do plants and animals shape the Earth's surface?
by borrowing in rocks and form ice wedding
What event in earth's past helped shape New York's land?
The ice age
How do wind, water, and ice interact to shape the Earth's landscapes?
Wind, water, and ice interact to shape Earth's landscapes through processes like erosion and deposition. Wind can carry and deposit sediment, water can carve out valleys and create features like rivers and lakes, and ice can sculpt mountains and carve out valleys through glacial movement. These forces work together to shape the Earth's surface over time.
How do melting glaciers shape land?
When the glacier is formed the ice scratches the land. When the glacier recedes the ice will scar the earth. This is called glacial scarring.
How does moving ice change the shape of the earth?
Erosion. Glaciers also contain rock fragments, which act as an abrasive.
What shape is an ice cube?
Usually a cube. Some ice makers shape their ice into crescent shapes, however.
What is a steep high wall of rock earth or ice?
A steep high wall of rock, earth, or ice is known as a cliff. Cliffs are often formed by erosion and can vary in size and shape, providing both natural beauty and challenges for climbers and hikers.
this is a test question what shape is the earth?
The shape of Earth is quite different from what we have seen in pictures we have drawn about it. The reason is that the area of Earth's surface has constant curvature, making it impossible for us to draw a perfect circle. Can you imagine how challenging it would be to draw a perfect circle if the surface of Earth had no curvature? The Earth as we know it is not round but an oblate spheroid. Its shape is not perfectly circular, but with a bulge at the equator and poles. The shape of Earth is a sphere. It is an oblate spheroid, which means it has an equatorial bulge. Earth has a circumference of 40,075 km or 24,901 miles and a circumference of 40,007km if we exclude the Antarctic ice cap.
Is Earth's shape a circle?
No, the Earth's shape is an oblate. A slightly squashed sphere or ball shape.
What forces shape the surface of the earth?
Geologic forces that shape the Earth are weathering and erosion (from wind, ice, water, and gravity) and the results of plate tectonics (volcanism, earthquakes, mountain building, subduction, crust creation).
How ice cube melting is a physical change?
Because it changes from a solid shape (ice cube) to a liquid shape (Water)
