Glaciers are a major cause of erosion and deposition. They can strip away soil and even solid rock, carving out valleys. They leave deposits of till, unsorted glacier deposits. Other sediment deposits form in rivers and lakes formed by glacial meltwater. Some glaciers leave behind lakes long after they have melted away.

How do internal and external forces cause changes to Earths surface?

Most common change to the Earths surface from internal forces would most likely be earthquakes and volcano eruptions. External forces could be considered meteor strikes, or possibly the effects of gravity on the oceans ( Tides ) Global warming is also melting glaciers and causing a growth in arid regions. kapm

How does energy from earths interior cause changes to earths surface?

Energy from Earth's interior, in the form of heat, drives processes such as plate tectonics which cause volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and the creation of mountains. The movement of molten rock in the mantle creates pressure that can result in geological activities like crustal uplift, faulting, and magma intrusions, leading to changes in the Earth's surface.


What is the cause of the level of earths oceans dropped?

Changes in global sea levels can be caused by a variety of factors. These include thermal expansion of the ocean due to increased temperatures, melting of ice caps and glaciers, changes in ocean currents, and tectonic movements. Each of these contributes to the complex dynamics influencing sea level change.

What gas causes the ice to melt?

Gas does not directly cause Ice to melt. However if you are talking about glaciers then the gas Carbon Dioxide (CO2) causes the earths atmosphere to heat up (because it traps more of the Sun's heat) and this causes glaciers to melt - because the Earths climate is hotter.
