What else can I help you with?
What process picks up particles called sandblast with wind and polishes them?
it is called wind erosion
What is another process that moving glaciers picks up debris and moves it along to other places?
Plucking is another process where moving glaciers pick up debris by freezing onto rocks, plucking them off, and carrying them along as the glacier moves. This process helps transport rock fragments and sediment to new locations, contributing to the shaping of the landscape.
What are 2 ways glaciers erode the land?
The two processes are abrasion and plucking.What processes lead to glacial erosion? Describe them.The two main processes that lead to glacial erosion are plucking and abrasion. Plucking is the process by which a glacier picks off rocks as it blocks over the land. The rock fragments freeze to the bottom of the glacier, gouging and scratching the bedrock as the glacier advances in the process of abrasion.
What is the material that is transported with glaciers called?
It is called the "Drift".a moraine
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.
The process in which a glacier loosens and picks up rock as it moves is called?
Plucking is the process in which a glacier freezes around cracked and broken rock and when it moves downhill, the rock is plucked from the back wall of the glacier.
What is a crack that forms when a glacier picks up speed called?
A crevasse.
What is a large crack that forms where a glacier picks up speed or flows over a high point called?
The answer is Crevasse.
What do you call a glacier that picks up debris and moves it to other places is called what?
A glacier that picks up debris and moves it to other places is called a "lateral moraine." This debris is typically picked up along the sides of the glacier as it moves, and is then deposited in new locations as the glacier advances or retreats.
What does the glacier do with the object it move?
the glacier picks up the sediments, rocks, till, debris, and soil and carries them along while the glacier moves and will eventually drop them.
What process picks up particles called sandblast with wind and polishes them?
it is called wind erosion
What is the process called that picks up loose material from the ground and moves it?
the answer is deposition

A large crack that forms where a glacier picks up speed or flows over a high point?
A crevasse is a large crack that forms in a glacier when it moves over uneven terrain or picks up speed. These deep openings can be dangerous for climbers and hikers as they are often hidden beneath snow bridges and can be difficult to detect. It is crucial to be cautious and use proper gear when navigating glacier terrain to avoid falling into crevasses.
What is the process in which a glacier loosens and picks up soil?
Glaciers is a pile of ice it can only move 2 or 12 cm in a year not sure but when it move i lefts behind strange marks and when it moves it picks up lots of soil and in there there crash it smack it break it and the weight allot

Small hills that are formed from deposits left by streams on the surface of a glacier are called what?
Kames. Many are found in areas of kettles and moraines.
