What else can I help you with?
Is mass movement caused by ice?
Yes, mass movement can be caused by ice. For example, glaciers can erode and carry large amounts of soil and rock downhill, leading to mass movement such as landslides and rockfalls. Additionally, when ice within rock fractures melts and refreezes, it can cause the rock to weaken, making it more susceptible to mass movement.
What is a large mass of snow and ice that moves slowly over land?
Any large mass of ice that moves slowly over ice is called a glacier.
How can ice weather a rock?
In one way (ice wedging), water gets into cracks in the rock, then freezes. This force can eventually split the rock crystals. In another (moving ice), a glacier or other large mass of ice moves across the rocks surface. This can scour away loose rock by friction. (It does not require that there be imbedded rocks, but this can also occur, where rocks are pushed together until one breaks.)
Does a 2kg rock have twice the mass of a 1kg rock?
Yes. Kilogram is the unit of mass.
What tool do you use to find the mass of a rock?
You can use a balance or scale to find the mass of a rock. Place the rock on the balance or scale and record the reading to determine its mass.

A small mass of rock ice and frozen gases that orbits the sun is a?
Comet.
Is a glacier called a rock?
No, a glacier is not called a rock. A glacier is a large mass of ice that moves slowly over land due to gravity. Rocks may be found within or on top of a glacier, but the glacier itself is made of ice.
Is a glacier a mass of ice or a mass of sand?
The answer to the question is a glacier is a mass of ice.
What is a mass of snow rock ice soil or other material that slides swiftly down a mountain?
AVALANCHE!
What is mass of ice rock and dust that orbits the sun and has cleared its orbit?
An object that is classified as a planet, specifically a terrestrial planet like Earth or Mars, has a mass of ice, rock, and dust that orbits the Sun and has cleared its orbit. The mass can vary significantly depending on the specific planet in question, with examples such as Earth having a mass of about 5.97 × 10^24 kg. However, the term "mass of ice, rock, and dust" generally refers to smaller bodies like asteroids or comets rather than planets, which have larger masses and more defined characteristics.
Is slump a glacier?
No. A glaciers is a slowly flowing mass of ice. A slump is a form of mass wasting in which a mass of rock or sediment breaks loose from a slope and moves relatively slowly downhill as a coherent mass.
What is the name of mass snow rock ice soil or other material that slide swiftly down a mountain?
avalanche
What is the name for a mass of snow ice rock soil or other material that slides swiftly down a mountain?
Avalanche

What is the mass of ice?
the mass of ice is 0.92grams per cubic centimeter
