Which feature is not a result of a glacier carving out rocks as it moves?
A nose is not a feature carved out by a glacier. If you want to ask a multiple choice question on this site, you have to include the choices in the question.
Which is a very slow type of erosion that moves rocks and soil is it a glacier a creep a landslide or weathering?
glacier
Is porphyritic texture is not a feature of sedimentary rocks?
Porphyritic texture is a feature of some igneous rocks, not sedimentary rocks.
When glaciers melt do they leave rocks behind?
Yes, When the glacier melts, all the rocks underneath are still there.....AnswerYes rocks melt out of Glaciers. The main types I can remember:Glacial till ( rocks left as an even bed )Erratics are large rocks (Boulder's) left scattered aboutLateral moraine's. These are drifts of rocks left where a stream has melted and cut a route through the glacier or the edges of where the glacier got to or whereTerminal Moraine is where a Glacier got to and stopped advancing or retreating for a time thus plowing up a big long narrow pile of rock.
What is the process called when glacier pick up rocks?
Glacial plucking.

How can glaciers erode rocks?
The glacier can carry rocks. The moving of the glacier.
Why are some rocks heated up before carving?
To soften them and aid the carving process.
Abrasion and plucking involves what part of glacier?
The base of the glacier, where it is in contact with the rocks beneath it.
What do you call the art of designing or carving rocks?
Lapidary.
How does the glacier erode the land beneath it?
A glacier erodes by the following processes:Plucking: the physical plucking of rocks from the rock face beneath it by freezing around it, then moving forwards, pulling it with it.Abrasion: the scraping of a rock entrained within the glacier against the rock faceRemoval: rocks can be entrained within the glacier, at the sides, in the middle or at the bottom and are transported by the processes listed belowDo not confuse the following with erosion:Rotational slip: related to erosion closely. This is where the corrie glacier rotates round in the hollow, carving it out, but the actual erosion is done by the processes aboveGlacial movement: a glacier moves by four processes: rotational slip, basal slippage, internal deformation and due to gravity. This is not the physical erosion of the rock, but just the way in which the glacier moves.
What is a moving river of ice that carries rocks and wearys away the land called?
Glacier
What can happen when a glacier melts in a cirque?
the glacier dropped small rocks as it melted. An erratic is a large boulder left behind after a glacier has melted
