Glaciers

When chunks of continental glaciers break off the edge of an ice sheet, they form icebergs. These icebergs can vary in size from small fragments to massive chunks of ice. They float in bodies of water and can pose hazards to shipping lanes and maritime activities.

The picking up and movement of earth beneath a glacier is referred to as glacial erosion. This process involves the glacier scraping and plucking rocks and sediment from the ground as it flows, and can result in the formation of landforms such as valleys, cirques, and moraines.

The area of Glacier Bay Wilderness is 10,784.371 square kilometers.

The largest shipping routes are always East or Westbound. There is a lot less traffic going from North to South and vice versa. For a map on world shipping routes click this link http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2010/01/global-shipping-map/

No, most of Eastern Brazil has either grassland, or broadleaf forests.

Lake Geneva. But it is partially in Switzerland and partially in France.

Next Bodensee. That is divided between Switzerland, Germany and Austria.

I've been to 58 national parks in the U.S. and Canada, and Glacier NP ranks in my personal top ten for scenic beauty.

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.

The force of ice being pulled down by gravity can create sufficient movement to displace all but the largest or most well-anchored rocks. Glacial movement can slide rocks several tons in weight.

glaciers pushed soil from New England to the middle colonies

None.

Except that both words start with "g" and end with "r".

It shaped much of New England.

Huge amounts of gravel were pushed around, creating Long Island.

It covered Canada under thousands of feet of ice.

Floating Icebergs

Not a glacier, but an iceberg, which was drifting South from the Arctic regions after breaking off from the Polar ice-cap in the warmer Spring weather.

As glaciers retreat, they leave behind deposits of rocks.

Glaciers cover nearly 10% of Earth's land surface.

The erosive forces that wear down rocks are the wind, rain, and sun. In humankind's feeble attempt to stop these forces, we apply man-made and natural sealers as a kind of shelter from them. Geologically speaking, all human attempts to control erosion will ultimately fail as nature's rock recycling machine grinds on.

Glaciers covered Michigan during the Ice Age because of the continental ice sheets that extended southward from the North Pole, bringing massive amounts of ice and snow. These glaciers advanced and retreated over thousands of years, shaping the landforms we see in Michigan today.

You may be referring to an "esker," a snake-like deposit of sediment left by a stream of running water underneath a glacier. At the edge of a glacier, a "moraine" also can form. A moraine is a pile of sediment and debris pushed by the glacier that forms alongside the glacier - a lateral moraine - or at the end of a glacier's run - a terminal moraine.

well, for one gravity from the moon pulls on the ocean to form tides, and tides can channge the form of the land. this really takes place cause the polor caps are melting so there is more water that comes in at high tides. thats one. cant think of another so good luck!!

Currently, glacierscover about 10% of Earth's land. Glaciers covered about 32% of Earth's land during the maximum point of the last ice age.

1. The glaciers flows unevenly beneath the surface, and regions of tension and compression build under the brittlesurface. As aresult, large cracks, called crevasses.
2. Some parts of the ice sheets may move out over the ocean and form ice shelves.
