What else can I help you with?
What are thick masses of ice that erode rock and move sediment called?
These are glaciers.
What is a thick of ice called?
Depends on the size. Some may be icebergs, others are glaciers
How thick can a glaciers?
A glacier can become many miles in width.
How do glaciers form?
Glaciers form from the accumulation of snow when it exceeds the melting rate. The pressure of overlying snow causes it to change to solid ice. Eventually, gravity will cause it to move downward or outward from its own weight. Also, melting glaciers can cause glacial lakes to become too full of water and cause them to breach their natural boundaries, flooding the villages below.
What is Thick sheets of ice that can cover large areas of a continent are called ice caps or?
Thick sheets of ice that can cover large areas of a continent are called continental glaciers or ice caps. Examples of continental glaciers are in Antarctica and Greenland The ice sheets that form in these two locations are up to 3500 meters thick. thank you a lot

These are glaciers.
What a glaciers?
A glacier is a thick sheet of ice.
Did Mars have glaciers?
Mars still has glaciers. Besides the ice caps scientists have discovered glaciers near the equator of mars that are up to half a mile thick.
How did glaciers affect the interior plains?
Glaciers shaped the interior plains by depositing thick layers of sediment that formed the flat landscape we see today. As glaciers advanced and retreated, they also carved out river valleys and lakes, leaving behind fertile soils that support agriculture in the region. Additionally, the meltwater from glaciers helped to create the extensive network of rivers and wetlands that define the interior plains.
What is the definition of glaciers?
Glaciers entering the sea and separating into smaller segments of ice.
What is a thick of ice called?
Depends on the size. Some may be icebergs, others are glaciers
What glaciers are called thick rivers of ice?
Glaciers are often referred to as "thick rivers of ice" because they flow slowly under their own weight, much like a river flows, but in a solid state. This movement occurs due to gravity and the internal deformation of ice, allowing glaciers to carve landscapes over time. They form from accumulated snowfall that compresses into ice, creating vast, thick masses that can extend for miles.

What the 2 most common kinds of glaciers?
There are 2 main types of glaciers, Continental is one, they float away from central regions. The second is alpine or valley which are the glaciers that flow down the valley from the mountain.
How did earths climate change in the Quaternary period?
thick continental glaciers advanced and retreated over parts of Europe and North America causeing it to be cold.sorry for the crappy spelling ;)
