Which wind slowly causes changes in Earth's landforms?
All winds.
What is a thick sheet of moving ice?
Also called ice sheets, they can be called glaciers or continental ice masses. While glaciers, by definition, have to be moving- albeit VERY slowly- ice sheets can just lay there until they move, which could classify them as a glacier.
Do glaciers move fast or slow downhill?
Glaciers move very slowly.
What happens when a mountain is weathered by glaciars?
The mountains become reduced in size. Glaciers slowly deform and flow due to stresses induced by their weight, creating crevasses, seracs, and other features. They also wear down rock and debris from this can create landforms such as cirques and moraines.
How do Earth's landforms affect Earth's water suplies?
The earth's landforms are always slowly changing which can cause earth's water supply to rise or fall.
Are glaciers rock coverd in snow?
No. Glaciers are slowly moving masses of ice.
Which term to large masses of slowly moving ice?
glaciers
Which term refers to large masses of slowly moving ice?
glaciers
Which wind slowly causes changes in Earth's landforms?
All winds.
Do glaciers move quickly slowly or not at all?
Glaciers move slowly.
Do glaciers slowly quickly or not at all?
Glaciers move slowly.
Do glaciers moves slowly quickly or not at?
Glaciers move slowly.
How does weathering changes landforms?
Weathering can change landforms by slowly eroding at them. For example, the Grand Canyon was cut into the Colorado platau by the Colorado River.
Do valley glaciers exist?
Yes, for over thousands of years snow, ice and glaciers have been slowly moving. In the process they make a deep valley or gorge from all the erosion.

How do glaciers affect earths surface?
When they slide or move across the land they pick up rocks and soil which changes the Ground beneath it.By glacial erosion which is when slowly over time large U shaped valleys are carved out; or by 'plucking' which is when rocks or boulders are literally plucked up from the surface and carried down the valley.Rocks frozen underneath glaciers carve the land when glaciers move
What is a example of glaciers?
glaciers are riveres of ice that moves very slowly.
