Why is freeze thaw weathering absoloutely vital if a glacier is going to be able to erode its valley?
Its to do with how it is able to form the glacier. There is a cylce where the ice can only cycle round and round if freeze thaw weathering is taking place, meaning that a glacier can erode its valley. The process of freeze thaw weathering erodes the valley.
What is a type of Alpine glacier?
One type of Alpine glacier is a cirque glacier, which forms in a bowl-shaped depression on the side of a mountain. These glaciers are typically small and may be found at the head of a valley or on a mountainside.
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
What type of weathering is seen in desert environments a. spheroidal weathering b. hydrolysis c. sedimentation d. differential weathering?
differential weathering
What kind of glaciers are Antarctica and Alpine?
Antarctica is a continental glacier. Alpine glaciers are a different type of glacier.
How can you use the words glaciers and weathering in a sentence?
Wind and weathering can cause glacier erosion.
Which is a very slow type of erosion that moves rocks and soil is it a glacier a creep a landslide or weathering?
A creep is a slow type of erosion that moves rocks and soil gradually downhill over time. Glaciers and landslides are more rapid forms of erosion, while weathering refers to the breakdown of rocks and soils by various processes.
What can affect the rate of weathering?
wind, water, waves, & glacier
What type of glacier is the thiel glacier?
valley

What is the main type of weather in in the desert?
Physical Weathering (aka Mechanical Weathering) is the main type of weathering in deserts.
Is glacier action chemical weathering or mechanical weathering?
Glacier action involves primarily mechanical weathering, as the movement of glaciers causes rocks to break apart through the physical forces of compression and abrasion. However, chemical weathering can also occur in glacial environments through processes like freeze-thaw cycles and the introduction of chemical substances from the ice.
What type of volcano is glacier peak?
Glacier Peak is a stratovolcano and is active.
What type of erosion formed the yosemite valley?
glacier erosion
What type of glacier is the Tazlina glacier?
it's a valley glacier, it moves slowly carrying debris and melted snow.
What type of weathering is in breaking of rocks?
Physical weathering.
What are erosional plains?
Erosional plains are developments on the Earth's surface caused by natural weathering of glacier activity, wind movement or water (sea, river & stream) torrent and are subdivided on the basis of the type of erosional agent.
