How do glaciers affect earths surface?
When they slide or move across the land they pick up rocks and soil which changes the Ground beneath it.By glacial erosion which is when slowly over time large U shaped valleys are carved out; or by 'plucking' which is when rocks or boulders are literally plucked up from the surface and carried down the valley.Rocks frozen underneath glaciers carve the land when glaciers move
Why should we save water?
we should save water because there is only 3% of fresh water left and most of it is in glaciers
Why are icebergs made of freshwater but float in salt water?

Why do Continental glaciers smooth the landscape?
Continental glaciers smooth the landscape because continental glaciers are flat unlike the rough shapes of Alpine glaciers.
How is a continental and valley glaciers the same?
Continental glaciers are thicker and larger. Valley glaciers are formed on mountains; continental glaciers are formed on flat land.
How glaciers cause weathering?
because when its freezing the water turn into glaciers
Is a glaciers a mager land form?
Glaciers are not major landforms because they aren't land. Glaciers do, however, create landforms
What carries the largest rocks glaciers or rivers?
Glaciers can because of their frozen state.
Do glaciers cause water erosion?
Glaciers cause erosion because of the immense weight and pressure they can exude onto surfaces. Fine grains of sediment get lodged into the bottom and sides of the glacier, making it so abrasive that it scratches grooves into rock as it moves.
How might land once covered by glaciers look different from places that never had glaciers?
It will look different because glaciers was not there and the land form will different
Do glaciers have the smallest rocks in them?
They can. because, glaciers pick up sediment as they go along slowly.
