What else can I help you with?
A moving river of ice that carries rocks and wears away the land is called?
A glacier. Glaciers are large masses of ice that slowly move downhill, eroding the land and carrying debris like rocks with them.
What do you call the tip of a glacier?
The tip of a glacier is called the glacier terminus or glacier snout. It is the furthest point reached by the glacier as it flows downhill.
What is the rapid movement of a glacier called?
The rapid movement of a glacier is called a glacier surge. This sudden acceleration in movement can be caused by internal changes within the glacier, such as the release of stored meltwater or changes in the glacier's structure.
What do you call a large crack in a glacier?
A crevasse is a large crack in a glacier.
What is the zone above the snowline on a glacier called?
The zone above the snowline on a glacier is called the accumulation zone. This is where snowfall exceeds melting, leading to an increase in glacier mass.
What forms along the edge of a glacier where till is dropped?
Where till is dropped by a glacier is called a lateral moraine.
When till is dropped along the edge of a glacier it forms a?
It forms a ridge called moraine
A moving river of ice that carries rocks and wears away the land is called?
A glacier. Glaciers are large masses of ice that slowly move downhill, eroding the land and carrying debris like rocks with them.
What is the term used to describe the movement of a glacier around small obstacles at its base?
The term used to describe the movement of a glacier around small obstacles at its base is called "plucking." This process involves the glacier lifting and carrying rocks and debris as it flows over and around obstacles.
What do you call when a material is dropped by water?
The process of a material being dropped by water is called sedimentation. Sedimentation occurs when the velocity of the water decreases, causing it to drop or deposit the suspended material it was carrying.
The largest glacier in Alaska is called?
malaspina glacier
What are rivers of ice?
A frozen river is called a frozen river. Rivers that normally flow as liquid water, are called frozen rivers when they become frozen.
Where did the atomic bomb fell?
The U.S. dropped one bomb named Little Boy which was dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. Three days later another bomb called Fat Man was dropped on Nagasaki. Japan surrendered and the bombing stopped.
What do you call the tip of a glacier?
The tip of a glacier is called the glacier terminus or glacier snout. It is the furthest point reached by the glacier as it flows downhill.
The end or outer margin of a glacier?
The end or outer margin of a glacier is called the glacier terminus. This is where the glacier ends and begins to melt or calve into the surrounding environment, such as a body of water or land. Changes in the glacier terminus are closely monitored by scientists to understand the health and movement of the glacier.
What is a slow melting glacier called?
A slow melting glacier
What is the rapid movement of a glacier called?
The rapid movement of a glacier is called a glacier surge. This sudden acceleration in movement can be caused by internal changes within the glacier, such as the release of stored meltwater or changes in the glacier's structure.
