A little, maybe.

1. According to some ideas in geotechnics, when an ice field melts away, the isostatic rebound of the earth's crust may be enough to allow more gas-rich magma to fill the void, and cause an eruption. Because the isostatic rebound may open up old fault in the crust. This would only happen if there had been a considerable ice field.

2. If a volcano erupts beneath a glacier, it will melt the glacier, and can cause huge floods of water. As happens sometimes in Iceland. For Iceland not only has glaciers aplenty, it also is located directly above a major tectonic plate junction. Indeed, the volcanic activity produced Iceland.

How is a continental and valley glaciers the same?

Continental glaciers and valley glaciers are both types of glaciers that form from accumulated snowfall. They both flow under the influence of gravity, albeit in different directions. While continental glaciers cover vast areas like an ice sheet, valley glaciers are confined to mountain valleys and flow down through them.


What is the definition of kettle in earth science?

What does till mean in earth science?

In earth science, "till" refers to a mixture of sediments deposited by glaciers. It typically consists of a range of particle sizes, from clay to boulders, that have been eroded, transported, and finally deposited by glaciers. Tills are important indicators of past glacial activity and provide insights into the history of ice sheets and the dynamics of glaciation.


What questions would you ask a science teacher?

The question that you could ask a science teacher is why the glaciers are melting. You could also ask about DNA, plants, animals, or even atmospheric pressures.


What field of science is for cryosphere?

The field of science that focuses on the study of the cryosphere is called cryospheric science. It includes the study of snow, ice, glaciers, permafrost, ice sheets, and sea ice, as well as their interactions with the climate system and the environment.

What are five landscapes features formed by alpine glaciers?

The bottom of alpine glaciers are rugged or rough, so they create a rugged landscape. They move because when the bottom of them melt, the water produced allows it to slide. (they typically move downhill) From a science book "Earth's Changing Surface" by Holt Science & Technology.
