What is the ridge of debris left behind by a retreating glacier called?
"Eskir"EskerA glacial ridge could be defined as several things:- An arête: a steep ridge formed by glaciers.- Corries: formed through glacier action.- Eskir/esker: a ridge of sand and gravel deposited by glacial movement.- Serac: a block of ice formed by intersecting crevasses on a glacier
What term describes open fissures in the brittle surface ice of a glacier?
crevasses
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 does a glacier affects the land?
A glacier can completely reshape the land. As it is made of very heavy ice, this ice can erode surfaces from the debris and rocks that it carries and the amount of pressure it places on the surface beneath it during its movement.
What is a large body of ice that changes the Earth's surface?
Glaciers do. An iceberg might if it crashes into your house.
What is the large body of ice that changes the earth surface?
glacier(:
What kind of caves are made from melted passages through ice?
Glacier or glacial caves. They are developed by melt-water from the glacier's or ice-sheet's surface melting the walls of cracks that allow the water to flow through the ice mass; or along the surface of the ground below a glacier.

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 term best describes open fissures in the brittle surface ice of a glacier?
Crevassas
What is a glacial ridge?
A glacial ridge could be defined as several things:- An arête: a steep-sided ridge between two valleys that were formed by glaciers.- corries: formed through glacier action.- eskir/esker: a ridge of sand and gravel deposited by glacial movement.- drumlin: an elongated hill caused by the streamlined movement of glacial ice sheets across rock-strewn lowlands.serac - pinnacles of ice formed by the intersection of crevasses in a glacier
What is the temperature of a glacier in Antarctica?
Inside a glacier it is exactly 0° C (the temperature at which water freezes to ice). On the surface of a glacier it can be anwhere from +25° C (if you are really lucky) to -60° C.
What are some glacier jokes?
What did the glacier say to the other glacier? ICE ICE BABY
How do rivers form in ice caves?
Simply melt-water from the surrounding ice, or the surface of the glacier and reaching the cave through crevasses.
What is the name for a glacier that has frozen to the bedrock?
Polar glaciers are glaciers that are frozen to the bedrock. The surface snow-pack of a polar glacier may experience melting, but the ice from the surface to the base is always below freezing.
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.
