What are 3 landforms created by glacier?
a glacier is ice. ice forms a landform called a mouth of a river
Crevasses are gaping cracks that form in the upper part of a glacier Why do crevasses form?
Brittle ice breaks as the glacier crosses rough terrain
What is a large crack that forms when a glacier picks up speed called?
A large crack that forms when a glacier picks up speed is called a crevasse. Crevasses occur due to differential movement within the glacier, often resulting from variations in ice thickness or changes in slope. These cracks can be quite deep and pose hazards to climbers and explorers in glacial regions.
What forms as Lambert glacier flows out over the ocean?
an ice sheet
Is a glacier a mass of ice or a mass of sand?
The answer to the question is a glacier is a mass of ice.
Why is ice in a glacier considered to be a mineral but but what forms a glacier is not?
Ice in a glacier is considered a mineral because it has a crystalline structure and forms through natural processes, meeting the criteria to be classified as a mineral. However, the material that forms a glacier, such as snow, does not have a defined crystal structure and does not meet the criteria to be classified as a mineral.

What is glacier ice?
A glacier is something that forms when snow falls in a place where it never has the time to melt. Eventually it builds up thick enough to turn into a thick slab of ice, and that's a glacier. Cut a piece of it, and that's glacier ice.
What kind of caves are made from melted passages through ice?
Glacier or glacial caves. They are developed by melt-water from the glacier's or ice-sheet's surface melting the walls of cracks that allow the water to flow through the ice mass; or along the surface of the ground below a glacier.
How a glacial valley forms?
a glacier valley forms from the pieces of ice that the glacier leaves behind when it broken down thats all i realy know
What forms as Lambert glacier flows out over the ocean?

What is the type of weathering when ice forms cracks in rocks?
Ice wedging is a form of mechanical weathering.
What forms when ice and snow build up in a mountain valley?
valley glacier
What term describes open fissures in the brittle surface ice of a glacier?
The term that describes open fissures in the brittle surface ice of a glacier is crevasse. Crevasse formation is typically due to the movement of the glacier over uneven terrain, leading to cracks in the ice. They can be dangerous for mountaineers and hikers as they are often hidden under snow.
