What is a long narrow glacier that forms between mountains?
A long narrow glacier that forms between mountains is called a valley glacier. These glaciers flow down valleys, eroding the surrounding landscape as they move. Valley glaciers are common in mountainous regions around the world.
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 continent is the Indus river valley located?
The Indus River valley is located in the continent of Asia.
What continent will you find a valley?
You can find valleys on every continent. Some notable valleys include the Nile Valley in Africa, the Grand Canyon in North America, and the Kathmandu Valley in Asia.
What continent is Wright Valley located?
Wright Valley is located in South America
A valley glacier spreads out over a large island or continent. true or false?
True. A valley glacier is typically confined to a valley and flows down from mountainous regions, while a glacier that spreads out over a large area, covering much of an island or continent, is known as a continental glacier or ice sheet. Examples of this include the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets.
Is the snowball glacier continental glacier or valley glacier?
It is a valley glacier
Does a valley glacier cover cover much of the island of Greenland?
Yes, Greenland is covered by an ice sheet, not a valley glacier. The Greenland Ice Sheet is one of the largest ice sheets in the world and covers about 80% of the island's surface. Valley glaciers are smaller glaciers that form in mountain valleys.
What covers much of the island of Greenland?
A valley glacier covers much of Greenland.
What is a sentence with the word glacier?
The glacier was huge.A v-shaped valley is a valley that was shaped by a glacier.
Is the Tasman glacier continental glacier or valley glacier?
The Tasman Glacier is a valley glacier. It is located in the Southern Alps of New Zealand and flows down the Tasman Valley. Valley glaciers form in mountainous regions and flow along valleys carved by rivers.
What type of glacier is the thiel glacier?
valley
What kind glacier flows in a surge?
a valley glacier
What kind of glacier flows in surge?
a valley glacier
Are continental glaciers larger than valley glaciers?
Yes. A continental glacier spreads around all sides, while the valley glaciers spread along it's length.
What is the shape of a valley left behind by a glacier?
The shape of a valley carved by a glacier is U shaped. A valley carved by a river is V shaped.
What is the shape of a valley that is eroded by a stream and a glacier?
A stream shaped valley is usually 'V' shaped. A glacier formed valley is usually 'U' shaped.
