Which surface feature formed by glaciers is shaped like an armchair?
Cirques.
What feature formed by glaciers is shaped like an armchair?
cirques
Are valleys formed your erosion or weathering?
Erosion and weathering: Glaciers form 'U'-shaped valleys, while rivers form 'V'-shaped valleys.
Can ice cause weathering and erosion?
Ice, as glaciers during the ice-ages, scoured mountains and formed 'U' shaped valleys.
Which of these California geologic features formed as the result of erosion by glaciers?
Yosemite Valley is a California geologic feature that formed as a result of erosion by glaciers. The glaciers carved out the U-shaped valley, leaving behind steep granite walls and beautiful waterfalls. Other examples include the glacially-carved cirques and hanging valleys in the Sierra Nevada mountain range.
Why do continental glaciers smooth the landscape and alpine glaciers create ragged landscape?
I only know that alpine glaciers can carve deep u-shaped valleys in the mountains.
Where are v-shaped valleys found?
they are formed where glaciers have passed.
What features is formed by glaciers and is shaped like an armchair?
CIRQUE
Which of these feature formed by glaciers is shaped like an armchair?
Cirques
How do alpine glaciers form?
Alpine glaciers form when snow piles up after a while they begin to build up eventually making an alpine glacier.
How are glaciers landscapes different from landscapes formed by water?
water cuts V-shaped valleys; glaciers carve out valley's that are U-shaped
What is the differences between v-valley and u-valley?
V-shaped mountain valleys are formed by the effects of running water. U-shaped mountain valleys are formed by the grinding action of moving glaciers.
How do you describe the landscape made by alpine glaciers compared to the landscape by continental glaciers?
Alpine glaciers leave behind U-shaped valleys, deep, high-altitude lakes and cliffs. Continental glaciers flow outwards scraping the landscape clean, making fairly flat lands and lakes
How are valleys formed by glaciers?
Valley Glaciers tend to for U-shaped valleys.
