Three different types of crevasses?
Bergschrund: A crevasse that forms at the top of a glacier where it separates from the rock or ice below. Transverse crevasse: Formed perpendicular to the flow of the glacier, typically due to the glacier bending or encountering obstructions. Marginal crevasse: Found at the edges or margins of a glacier and are often caused by variations in stress and strain as the glacier moves.
What is it called At 362011 feet the deepest known portion of the ocean floor?
The deepest known portion of the ocean floor is called the Challenger Deep, located in the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific Ocean. It reaches a depth of approximately 36,201 feet (11,034 meters) below sea level.
What is the difference between glacier erosion and glacier deposition?
Glacier erosion is when the ground below the glacier is removed. Glacial deposition is when the debris (eroded ground) is left behind when a glacier melts and the face retreats.
Which glacial does erosion takes place in?
Erosion primarily takes place in a glacier's zone of ablation, where the ice melts and water flows over and under the glacier, carrying sediment and debris with it to erode the bedrock below. Additionally, erosion can occur at the glacier's base due to the grinding action of the ice as it moves over the landscape.
What is the difference in 5040 m above sea level and 156 below sea level?
The difference in altitude between 5040 meters above sea level and 156 meters below sea level is 5196 meters. This is because you would be adding 5040 meters and 156 meters, which results in a total of 5196 meters difference in altitude between the two points.

Why can crevasses in glaciers only be 50M deep?
Plastic flow occurs below that depth.
Which countries has the greatest percentage of land at an elevation below 200 meters altitude?
The Netherlands has the greatest percentage of land at an elevation below 200 meters altitude, with a significant portion of the country being below sea level. Other countries with large areas below 200 meters altitude include Bangladesh and some coastal regions in countries like Egypt and Vietnam.
How the Boulder Glacier has changed in recent years?
Boulder Glacier is shrinking at an increasing rate, such that it will not be classified as a glacier soon (if not already). See the link below for repeat photos.
What are two kinds of glacier's?
A temperate glacier remains at melting point from surface to base throughout the year. A polar glacier always remains below freezing point.
What is The Temperature of a glacier?
The temperature of a glacier varies depending on factors like altitude, season, and climate. The surface temperature of a glacier can range from below freezing to slightly above freezing, while the temperature deep within the glacier can remain below freezing even during the summer.
Hanging valley and a glacial trough?
Glacial Trough (U-shaped valleys) - Flat-bottomed valley with steep sides produced by the erosion of the floor and sides of the valley by an alpine glacier as its sediment abrades while the glacier flows downhill. On the topographic maps they are recognized by closely spaced contours along the valley sides and widely spaced contours on the valley floor.Hanging Glacial Troughs - Formed when the down-cutting erosion of the main valley glacier exceeds that by the tributary glacier. The tributary glacier flows onto the main glacier and thus has an erosional base level of the elevation of the main valley glacier. After melting, the lower portion of the tributary glacial trough is then left hanging above the main floor of the glaciated valley. On maps they are recognized by more widely spaced contours across a stream in the upper portion than in the lower portion (where the modern stream cascades into the main valley below).
What is the deepest point on land?
Dead Sea shore, Israel-Jordan: 1369 feet / 417.5 meters below sea level
WHATS 40 meters below sea level?
whats 40 meters below sea level

Does a hill farm have good soil?
Usually no, but if it's below a glacier, the soil can be very rich.
What layer in the atmosphere is the top portion of the troposphere?
The troposphere is the portion of the atmosphere closest to earth. It is below the stratosphere.
