it formed glaciers it formed glaciers
How are horns cirques and aretes related?
They are all formed by glaciers.
The area of darkness formed when an object blocks light is called a?
Its an opaque object.
What are four forces that cause erosion?
Running water, waves, wind, glaciers, and gravity Erosion is formed by wind, water, ice, and gravity.
What did the Miller-Urey experiment demonstrate about Archean Earth?
life began in ocean that amino acids were likely abundant
Norway famous for these natural landmarks water passes through these cliffs formed by glaciers?
Fjords.
Water passes through what cliffs formed by glaciers?
Water can pass through U-shaped valleys formed by glaciers. These valleys have steep, straight sides that are often polished or have sheer rock faces known as cliffs. This creates an ideal pathway for water to flow or be contained within the valley.
Were lakes created when glaciers retreated?
Yes, lakes were often formed as glaciers retreated due to the depressions or basins left behind by the moving ice. These basins could fill with water from melted glacier ice, rain, or rivers, creating new bodies of water.
How was niagara falls formed?
Niagara Falls is on of nature's greatest wonders. These gigantic waterfalls were formed 10,000 years ago when the last glaciers were retreating north. As the glaciers moved, they exposed cliffs at Niagara and allowed water to flow from Lake Erie into Lake Ontario. As the cliffs eroded, the water flowed back into Lake Erie, creating the falls.
How did the yosemite valley form?
Yosemite was formed through the interaction of the glaciers and the underlying rocks. Most of the terrain is made of granite, formed by the hardening of formerly molten rock and exposed erosion.
Estuaries formed by glacial action are called what?
Fjords are estuaries formed by glacial action. They are long, narrow inlets with steep cliffs created by the movement of glaciers. Fjords are typically found in high-latitude regions where glaciers have carved deep valleys into the landscape.
How was Lake Erie created?
Nature thought the flat land in that area was too flat, especially to move glaciers back and forth on the land. So over thousands of years, nature sent glaciers down across what is now Canada and now the US. These glaciers would advance...and retreat... over and over during seasons throughout the glacial period of earth. As the glaciers advanced and receded, it broke rocks down, which eventually created five very deep "basins". Each of these basins, as they formed, collected rain water and melted glacial water. Eventually, the glaciers retreated off these lands. The basins formed by the glaciers created The Great Lakes, and are known as glacial lakes. No one built Lake Erie; nature formed or created it.
How was great lakes formed?
The Great Lakes were formed by the retreat of glaciers at the end of the last ice age, approximately 10,000 years ago. As the glaciers melted, they carved out deep basins that eventually filled with water, creating the five Great Lakes we see today. These lakes are now connected by various waterways and support diverse ecosystems.
Norway is famous for these natural landmarks Water passes through these cliffs formed by glaciers?
Fjords.
How are continental and valley glaciers?
Continental glaciers are thicker and larger. Valley glaciers are formed on mountains; continental glaciers are formed on flat land.
What 3 places in the us was formed by glaciers?
Yosemite Valley in California was formed by glaciers carving out the landscape during the last Ice Age. The Great Lakes in the Midwest were created by glaciers moving over the land and carving out deep basins which filled with water as the glaciers melted. The Finger Lakes region in New York was shaped by glaciers carving out deep, narrow lakes between steep hillsides.
When are tunra formed?
tundra are formed when glaciers of water freezes. tundra are formed when glaciers of water freezes.
