What else can I help you with?
What are thick masses of ice that erode rock and move sediment called?
These are glaciers.
What can occur as glaciers remove loose pieces of rock or as dragged rock scratches rock underneath the glacier?
something.
What is the rock material deposited by glaciers called?
The rock material deposited by glaciers is called "glacial till." This sediment consists of a mixture of clay, silt, sand, gravel, and boulders that glaciers grind and transport as they move. When glaciers melt, they leave behind this unsorted debris, which can form various landforms such as moraines and drumlins.
What are glaciers made up of?
Glaciers are not made of rock; they are made of ice. Glaciers can contain rocks, but not of any particular type. Rather, they carry whatever type of rock they are going over or have gone over.
When glaciers drag attached rock across the land they?
create a moraine
Are glaciers rock coverd in snow?
No. Glaciers are slowly moving masses of ice.
What are thick masses of ice that erode rock and move sediment called?
These are glaciers.
Why is weathering important to the rock cycle?
If there is no weather on earth we might not be able to live. weather also brings us food by giving us rain for our crops.
How does glaciers and rivers form new rocks?
Glaciers and rivers transport eroded rock material (sediment), that can form new sedimentary rock after deposition.
Where do glaciers depost the earth and rock as they move forward and advance?
Glaciers often push earth and rock from beneath themselves as they move forward. Many natural lakes were formed by glaciers carving the earth as they passed.
What is the loosening and lifting of blocks of rock by glaciers?
Plucking
What two forces that cause glaciers?
Ice and rock
How does wind and glacier abrade rock?
Wind and glaciers abrade rock with their brute force.
What can occur as glaciers remove loose pieces of rock or as dragged rock scratches rock underneath the glacier?
something.
What do glaciers give us to drink?
glaciers are just lots of ice. when this ice melts it turns into H2O (water). so glaciers give us water to drink.
What is the loosening and lifting of blocks of rock by glaciers is called what?
The loosening and lifting of blocks of rock by glaciers is called glacial plucking. This process occurs when the glacier freezes onto the rock surface and then plucks or pulls the rock as it moves, resulting in the transportation of the rock along with the glacier.
Do the Himalayas have any glaciers?
Yes. There are many glaciers in the Himalayas.
