What is a glaciated landscape?
A landscape which has been carved out by MASSIVE sheets of ice in the period of what is called 'the ice age' (when ice covered a huge % of the earths surface) the movement of this ice cuts through the landscape and forms distinctive features and patterns as they go which geographers and geologists recognise as a glaciated landscape.
How have glaciers affected the landscape of Michigan and has it been good for the economy?
The glaciers created the great lakes. Without the Great Lakes, there wouldn't be many places to fish. That's all I can think of right now, sorry if i wasn't of much help.
Why you should study glaciers?
Glaciers may seem like an unimportant, uninteresting topic, but it has made significant changes to the landscape in nearly every area of the world. Even what are today very warm areas, glaciers could have existed millions of years ago. Results of glaciers include "U" shaped valleys with the edges scratched/polished by the things the glaciers carries. Glaciers also have incredible moving strength. Boulders have been known to be moved hundreds of miles from their original position.
Did glaciers melt in ice age?
Glaciers had been melting all the time even in ice age. This is caused by the movement of the water lifting the glacier up and down creating a crack ripping the ice from the glacier. Then the iceberg flows away and when it reaches warmer waters it starts to melt. Glaciers had been melting even in ice age
Are most of the world's glaciers advancing retreating or remaining stable?
Most of the world's glaciers are retreating. The glaciers have been retreating slowly since 1850 but since 1980 they have been melting at much faster rates.
What does a glacial drift do?
Glacial drift refers to the debris and sediments (such as rocks, sand, and gravel) that are transported and deposited by glaciers as they move. This process can shape the land, create moraines and drumlins, and leave behind distinctive landforms like valleys and ridges. Glacial drift plays a significant role in shaping the Earth's landscape and influencing the geology of regions that have been covered by glaciers in the past.
What is a glaciers made of?
Glaciers are made of ice that has been formed a long time ago.
What is the primary effect of glacial deposition?
Huge boulders strung across the landscape that are out of place had been deposited there by a glacier which had moved them from several hundred miles away.
What planet has glaciers?
The planet Mars has glaciers made of water ice, mostly located in its polar regions. These glaciers have been observed by orbiters and are thought to be composed of a mix of water and carbon dioxide ice.
Has Florida been covered by glaciers?
No, Florida has never been covered by glaciers. During the last Ice Age, glaciers did not reach as far south as Florida due to the state's low elevation and proximity to the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
What was the landscape during the Boston massacre?
It was in the city so the landscape would have been buildings and such.
Which continent did glaciers first appear?
Glaciers first appeared on the continent of Antarctica. The oldest known glaciers on Antarctica have been dated to around 30 to 35 million years ago.
