Which landform can a moving mountain glacier carve?
A moving mountain glacier can carve a U-shaped valley. As the glacier moves downhill, it erodes the sides and bottom of the valley, creating a distinctive U-shaped cross-section. The glacier's immense weight and motion combined with erosion from the ice can shape the landform over time.
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.
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 a v shaped break in a glacier?
A Fissure is a V shaped break in a galcier
What is the name of the funnel-shaped opening at the of a volcano?
a funnel shaped vent at the top of a volcano is a crater

What is a sentence with the word glacier?

What is the funnel shaped opening at the mouth of a river?
The opening is called an estuary.
A bowl-shaped basin formed near the beginning of a glacier is called a?
A Cirque
What is the bowl shaped depression where the valley glacier begins?
The Cirque is the name given to the bowl shaped depression were the valley glaciers usually begins. A glacier basically refers to a terminus that usually ends in a body of water.
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.
Which is a glacier feature caused by erosion?
In cross-section: A 'U' shaped valley is formed from glacial erosion. A 'V' shaped valley is formed by river erosion.
What is a bowl-shaped depression at the head of a glacial valley called?
A bowl-shaped depression at the head of a glacial valley is called a cirque or a corrie. It is typically formed by the erosion of a glacier.
What does you shaped valley mean?
A U-shaped valley is a geological formation formed by the erosive action of a glacier. Ice moving downhill carves out a broad, U-shaped valley with steep sides and a flat bottom. These valleys are characteristic of areas that have been shaped by glacier activity.
What agent of erosion most likely produced this valley's shape?
When the glacier is moving down the side of the valley it scrapes of the rocks. The grinding changes the shape of the valley so that it is rounded.
What is the bowl shaped area at the volcanoes opening?
The opening may have a crater, more technically called a "caldera."
