What is any large mass of ice that moves slowly over land?
A glacier is a large mass of ice that moves slowly over land due to the force of gravity. Glaciers are formed from the accumulation and compaction of snow over many years.
Does soil form slowly or quickly?
Soil formation is a relatively slow process that can take hundreds to thousands of years. It involves the weathering of rocks, decomposition of organic matter, and the accumulation of minerals and nutrients. Factors like climate, vegetation, and topography influence the speed at which soil forms.
Which force changes Earth's surface most slowly?
The force that changes Earth's surface most slowly is typically erosion, which is the gradual wearing down of rocks and soil by wind, water, and other natural forces. This process can take thousands to millions of years to significantly alter the landscape.
What does KY mean in terms of geologic time?
k = thousands, y = years. 10Ky = 10,000 years
Does soil formation ever stop?
No, the earth is just one big creature, it just moves so slowly that it can only be recognised over generations and generations, and millions and millions of years when we come to study it later and 'look back' into its history.
What moves very slowly over thousands of years and chisel?
Rock layers
What rock moves over thousands of years and chisel?

What move very slowly over thousand years and chisel?
Rock layers
What did people use before the chisel?
Primitive chisels have been around for many thousands of years. Before that the adze was closest to it.
If the wind blows sand against a cliff for thousands of years what will happen to the cliff?
It slowly erodes away.
Why do Neptune travel slowly?
Neptune moves slowly because it rotates on its axis every 16 hours and orbits the sun every 164.79 Earth years.
What is any large mass of ice that moves slowly over land?
A glacier is a large mass of ice that moves slowly over land due to the force of gravity. Glaciers are formed from the accumulation and compaction of snow over many years.
Does seafloor spreading make continents move apart?
yes, but very slowly. it would take thousands of years for any real distance to be created
Is it 'thousands of years' or 'thousands of year'?
thousands of years. They are both plural nouns
What is best to sail the world on for many years single or multihull?
Multi-hull provides a more stable platform, but moves more slowly through the water.
How long does it take an intrusive rock to form?
Intrusive rocks form over tens of thousands to millions of years as molten rock, or magma, slowly cools and solidifies beneath the Earth's surface. The cooling process is influenced by various factors, including depth of burial, rate of cooling, and composition of the magma.
