What else can I help you with?
What are thick masses of ice that erode rock and move sediment called?
These are glaciers.
What are two ways in which glaciers erode earth's suface?
Glaciers erode Earth's surface through abrasion, where the ice and sediments grind against the rock, wearing it down. They also erode through plucking, where the glacier freezes onto rock and plucks or pulls it away as the glacier moves.
How is a arete form?
It is formed when two glaciers erode parallel from each other or when two glaciers erode towards each other
How does glaciers erode by abrasion?
Glaciers erode by abrasion when they drag rocks and sediments along their base and sides, creating a sandpaper effect. This process occurs as the glacier moves, grinding, scratching, and smoothing the underlying bedrock and carving out deep valleys. The debris carried by the glacier further enhances the abrasion process as it scrapes against the surface.
How do glaciers accumulate their load of sediment?
Glaciers accumulate sediment through various processes. As glaciers move, they pluck and erode rocks from the underlying bedrock, entraining them into the ice. Glaciers also grind and crush the rocks they come into contact with, generating glacial flour or fine-grained sediment. Additionally, glaciers can transport sediment that has been deposited on their surface by wind or landslides, adding to their load of sediment.

Do glaciers erode and build?
Yes
How does nature erode and and deposit rock?
Water erodes small rocks by flowing over them,, ice glaciers drag rocks with them.

Can glaciers erode?
Yes ... usually from heat.
What is 2 ways that glaciers erode the land?
Glaciers erode the land through plucking, where they pick up and remove rock fragments as they move, and abrasion, where they scrape and grind the underlying bedrock as they advance. These processes help to shape landforms such as valleys, cirques, and moraines.
What type of glaciers are there and how do they erode the land?
glacial deposition and glacial erosion
How do glaciers erode earths surface?

What are things that erode weathered rock?
things that erode weathered rock
What are 2 process by which glaciers erode the land?
abrasion and plucking.
