Could a glacier leave behind petrified wood?
No, a glacier would not be able to leave behind petrified wood. Petrified wood forms when wood is buried underground and minerals slowly replace the organic material, a process that takes thousands to millions of years. Glaciers can transport and erode materials, but they do not create petrified wood.
What is the name of the angel of death?
The angel of death is known as Azrael in Islamic and Jewish traditions. In Christianity, the concept of the angel of death is not as prominent, but the role is sometimes associated with the archangel Michael.
What nation is called Land of Fire and Ice because of its geysers and glaciers?
Iceland is known as the Land of Fire and Ice because it has a combination of active volcanoes and glaciers. The geothermal activity in Iceland results in geysers and hot springs, while its glaciers cover a significant portion of the country.
there could be a no. of reasons why do glaciers move,but i just wanna say that glaciers move because of the sheer weight of a thick layer of ice and the fact that it deforms as a "plastic" material, combined with gravity's influence, and causes glaciers move slowly. then they rush down the mountain valley and this causes glaciers move faster. they are formed big rivers after they rush down the valley.
Describe the features of Moai?
Moai is an open-source 2D game engine that supports both Lua and C++ programming languages. It provides developers with tools for cross-platform development, easy integration of third-party libraries, and a component-based architecture for flexible game design. Moai also includes support for physics, input handling, and audio.
How long does it take for a glacier to form?
Glaciers typically form over thousands of years as snow accumulates and compacts into ice. The exact time it takes for a glacier to form can vary depending on factors such as snowfall rates, temperature, and geographical location.
Where is the Franz Josef Glacier?
Many millenia, but the face at the lower altitude is older. They are a good way inland now, but some of the glaciers, I think, the neighbouring Fox Glacier, went all the way down to the sea on the West Coast of South Island New Zealand when Captain Cook was there around the 1700s.
It's when a glacier or ice shelf has allot of pressure on it, and breaks. The chunk of ice floats in open water and it is an iceberg.
(Icebergs are pieces of Antarctica's ice sheets which break/melt off overtime. So, icebergs are really formed because of Antarctica.) Yes but not just Antarctica - they form wherever a glacier enters the sea
An iceberg is a large piece of fresh water ice that has broken off from a glacier or ice shelf that is then able to float freely in open water. They vary tremendously in size. The largest to date was about 12,000 square miles in size; larger than Belgium. Paraphrased from WikiPedia. See link for more.
You can identify deposited materials left by glacial ice deposits based on their composition, size, and sorting. Glacial deposits often consist of a mix of sediment sizes (clay to large boulders), show little sorting, and may have scratches or striations caused by the movement of ice. Additionally, the presence of erratics (rocks different from the surrounding material) can also indicate glacial deposition.
Who was the man or woman that the Chamberlin Glacier was named after?
Thomas Chrowder Chamberlin, a geologist, was an expert on glaciers in the 1800s. Chamberlin went to Greenland in 1894 with the Peary Auxiliary Expedition. He was a professor at Beloit College in Wisconsin and is known for taking part in the Geological Studies of Wisconsin. His terminology for the stages of glaciers is still used. He was an early proponent of the theory of climate change. He was married In 1867 to Alma Isabel Wilson of Beloit. His son, Rollin Chrowder Chamberlin, wrote a biograhpical memoir for the NSA in 1932.
You have fallen victim to Einstein's Theory of Relativity. I kid you not!!
Einstein argued that time is relative to what you are doing. So when you are with your beautiful lady, time goes by in the blink of an eye. When you are without her, each hour feels longer than a week in jail.
With regards to thinking about her all the time, this is perfectly normal. Cherish each moment with her, treat her right and good luck.
*Ok i don't know exactly about the Einstein theory but the 2nd part to me seems correct. Yes this is normal not every one feels this way when their in a relationship.It's a good and bad to be atatched,being straight up forward with you abot the reasons why its bad and good. Bad reasons: she might not feel the same way,she can break up with you at any time,your loyalty can be used,it's hard to get over her even if you the on that breaks up with her.Good reasons: you've felt the power of a possible trait of love,she can feel the same way you can be together for longr then what you've already been with her for,there can be trust and loyalty involved.There are so many good and bad reasons bu those are the ones that either happend to me or happened t a loved one of mine. Not to get you scared or anything but enjoy her while you have her and don d anything wrong to keep her longer every thing fling has it's time limit wether it's people ,distractions,states,death or more.WISH YOU LOUCK DONT BE SCARED NOTALL OF THIS REGARS TO YOUR GIRLGlaciers 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.
Reasons for gradation of glaciers?
Being made of ice, glaciers retreat when the rate of melt exceeds the rate of growth. That is, of course, the simple answer. Scientists seem to agree that the retreat of glaciers is directly connected with global warming. It also appears that the process is accelerating inasmuch as surface water on glaciers remains unfrozen.
Glaciers are formed when snow accumulates over time, compresses into ice, and begins to flow under its own weight. This gradual process of snow compaction and ice formation creates thick masses of ice that move downhill due to gravity. Glaciers are typically found in polar regions, high mountains, and other cold environments where snowfall exceeds melting.
Is a glacier composed of cells?
Glaciers are not composed of cells; they are composed of H2O molecules. Only living things, such as plants and animals, are composed of cells.
What glaciers are near Valdez?
I'll just name a handful of them. Or atleast the ones you can usually see. The Worthington Glacier on the Richardson Highway, The Valdez Glacier down Airport Road, Shoup Glacier in Shoup Bay, Anderson Glacier (you can see coming over a mountain) Columbia Glacier and Mears Glacier you can view if you take a Stan Stephens or Lu Lu Belle cruise out of Valdez or take your own boat out.
Of all the fresh water found on Earth how much of it is ice and snow at the poles?
40%
2nd Answer:
More like 69% of the Earth's FRESH water is frozen in the two polar ice caps. The ice at the very bottom of the south polar ice cap is as much as 100,000 years old. It is also about 2.3 thousand meters below sea level.
What Moves along the mRNA and helps form the peptide strand?
Ribosomes move along the mRNA during protein synthesis. They help bring together amino acids to form a peptide strand based on the nucleotide sequence of the mRNA.
Why is visiter center at portage glacier in Alaska named for Begich Boggs?
The Visitor's Center at Portage Glacier is named after Nick Begich, Sr from Alaska and Hale Boggs from Louisiana. Begich was running for Alaska's lone seat in the US House and Boggs was a Congressman. Begich and Boggs were both passengers in a small plane that went down somewhere in the North Pacific Ocean in the early 1970s.
no. it melts
An iceberg will float as long as it is in water. If you could put an iceberg in a liquid less dense than ice, the iceberg would sink.
What is the unsorted rocky debris left behind by a melting glacier?
The unsorted rocky debris left behind by a melting glacier is called glacial till. It is composed of a mixture of different sizes and types of rocks, deposited as the glacier retreats and melts, creating a diverse and unsorted collection of sediments.
