Is a moraine constructive erosion?
A moraine is a landform created by glacial deposition, not erosion. As a glacier moves, it picks up rocks and debris which are deposited as the glacier retreats, forming moraines.
What process is it when Rock fragments freeze to the bottom of a glacier and are then carried away when the glacier moves?
The process in which rock fragments freeze to the bottom of a glacier and are then carried away when the glacier moves is called plucking. After the last ice age, stranded ice blocks left behind by the continental glacier melted and formed kettles.
Was long island formed by glaciers?
weathering and erosion the glacier used abrasion and then all of the rocks would be taken away by erosion
Rock are carried along inside an and drop off as it melts?
This describes glacial erosion where rocks are frozen into the base of a glacier and then deposited as the glacier melts, leaving behind a trail of rocks.
What is the shape of a glacier valley?
A glacier valley typically has a U-shape, with steep sides and a flat bottom. This shape is the result of the erosion and scouring action of the glacier as it moves downhill, carving out the landscape over time.
What type of erosion formed the yosemite valley?
glacier erosion
What makes a glacier such a powerful agent of erosion and depositions?
Because it is so big and bulky.
How has erosion effected glacier bay national park?
Erosion at Glacier bay is caused by the chunks of ice on the glacier breaking apart and falling into the water
How do glacier caues erosion?
glacier r cool and stoof
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.
Which type of erosion moves the most sediment on the earth's surface?
Glacier Erosion
How is erosion different from water and glacier erosion?
Wind does not carry heavy objects.
How wind erosion different from water and glacier erosion?
Wind does not carry heavy objects.
Is moraines a glacial feature caused by erosion?
Moraines are not caused by erosion, but rather by the deposition of sediment and rocks carried and deposited by a glacier as it moves and melts. Erosion occurs as the glacier carries material away from its original location.
What is the difference between glacier erosion and glacier deposition?
Glacier erosion is when the ground below the glacier is removed. Glacial deposition is when the debris (eroded ground) is left behind when a glacier melts and the face retreats.
How does glacial erosion begin?
Glacial erosion requires movement. Thus, glacial erosion begins as soon as the glacier starts moving.
What does a glacier and a river have in common?
cause erosion and involveprocesses of "flow"
