Evidence of glacial erosion includes U-shaped valleys, striations or grooves on rocks caused by the movement of the glacier, glacial polish on rocks, and moraines (deposits of glacial till). These features indicate the past presence and movement of a glacier in the area.

The land left behind after a glacier passed through it would most likely become?

a U-shaped valley with steep sides and a flat bottom due to the erosion caused by the glacier. Once the glacier retreats, it will leave behind a variety of landforms such as moraines, drumlins, and kettle lakes.


What might happen to a glacier that would cause the crust to float higher in the mantle?

If a glacier were to melt or retreat significantly, the weight of the ice on the crust would decrease. This would cause the crust to rebound or rise up due to isostatic rebound, a process where the Earth's lithosphere adjusts to changes in surface loads. As the crust rebounds, it would float higher in the mantle, resulting in an uplift of the land previously covered by the glacier.


A glacial deposit would most likely consist of what?

A glacial deposit would most likely consist of a mixture of unsorted rocks, sand, and clay, known as till. It may also contain boulders, gravel, and sediment that were eroded and transported by the glacier.


What other evidence would you like to have to prove that earths surface has moved and is moving what other questions would you liked answered and explain?

To further prove that Earth's surface has moved and is moving, I would like to have evidence such as GPS data showing crustal motion, analysis of seismic activity along fault lines, and examination of changes in land formations over time. I would also like to have questions answered regarding the mechanisms driving tectonic plate movement, the history of past movement events, and the potential implications for future geological events. Understanding these aspects can provide a more comprehensive picture of the dynamic nature of Earth's surface.


Small hills that are formed from deposits left by streams on the surface of a glacier are called what?

Kames. Many are found in areas of kettles and moraines.
