How can ice change a landform?

Ice can have numerous effects on a landscape. Many of the features of the northern continents -- North America, Europe and Asia -- were sculpted by advancing massive ice sheets during several ice ages. Puget Sound, the Mississippi River, the Great Lakes, the fjords of northern Scandinavia and other features across Asia were sculpted and created by the advance of massive ice sheets. Further, the ice sheets were so huge and weighed so much that they actually pressed the continents down into the crust; this is the leading theory to explain why North America is rising throughout the Midwest with accompanying earthquakes in a process called glacial rebound (the continent is gradually springing back up after having been depressed by heavy glaciers).

Less drastically, ice is probably the biggest erosive factor in crumbling mountains apart. As snow and ice melt on a mountain, the water seeps into cracks in the rocks ... when that water re-freezes, the ice expands (because ice is less dense in water, this means that a certain volume of liquid water will expand into a larger volume when frozen into ice), wedging the crack apart and causing solid rock to crumble and fall apart. Ice and snow can pile on thickly onto steep slopes and create tremendous force when their mass becomes unstable due to the angle of the slope and they tumble down in powerful avalanches, taking rocks and even tall vegetation like trees with them in the process.

Ice, in the form of permafrost (frozen ground) creates solid ground in low areas where there would otherwise be swampy bogs; they also trap gases like methane and carbon dioxide within them. The thawing of permafrost is thus a global warming concern, as it is a runaway effect that amplifies the amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases humans are already dumping into the atmosphere.

What features of ancient aquatic organisms made it possible for them to leave the sea and colonize the dry land about 400 million years ago?

algae, a group of protists, began to grow. Their desendent made it possible for them to survive on dry land!

Difference between viscous and non viscous lava?

Viscous lava is very sticky and thick and is more felsic (ie it contains more silica) than non-viscous lava. This type of lava makes for a very explosive volcano, because it's so sticky that it sticks to itself and can't exit the volcano until it explodes violently. Non-viscous lava is more runny and is more mafic (has more iron, less silica). Volcanoes with non-viscous lava are less explosive because the lava just runs out slowly and no pressure builds. The Hawaiian islands are formed from volcanoes with non-viscous lava.

What is the width of Uluru?

Uluru (Ayers Rock) stands 348m high above the surrounding desert at its highest point and is believed to extend another 2.5 km into the ground.

It is 862 metres above sea level.

What is 256 divided by-32 divided by-4?

The answer is 2. However, if you did 256 divided by positive 32 divided by positive 4, you would get the same answer. Just as a negative times a negative equals a positive, so does a negative divided by a negative.

What are the human and physical features in kyushu?

Some human features in Kyushu include cities like Fukuoka, Kumamoto, and Nagasaki, as well as cultural landmarks such as historic temples, hot springs resorts, and traditional festivals. Physical features include active volcanoes like Mount Aso, scenic coastlines, mountain ranges such as the Kirishima Range, and lush forests.

How many main land regions are there in Illinois?

There are five main regions in Illinois: Northern Illinois, Central Illinois, Western Illinois, Southern Illinois, and the Chicagoland area. Each region has distinct characteristics and influences on the state's culture and economy.

Where is the antarctic on a map?

Summer in the Arctic is cool, with temperatures just above zero in most places, but may reach to 7 to 20 degrees C in other areas. The ice melts a little, absorbing most of the sun's energy, which leaves very little to heat the air, despite the fact that there's 24 hours of sunlight.

What is the main landform of the Federated States of Micronesia?

The Federated States of Micronesia is made up of islands and atolls, which are low-lying coral formations. These islands are scattered across a vast area of the western Pacific Ocean.

Which state is the darkest in the US?

The state that experiences the least amount of sunlight in the United States is Alaska. This is due to its high latitude, which results in long periods of darkness during the winter months.

Which lava is more viscous slow-moving lava or runny lava?

The difference in the flow of lava is determined by how viscous the magma of the volcano is. For Stratovolcanoes like those seen in the Cascades Range of the North Western United States, there magma is normally very sticky as it has a high concentration of Silica. The higher the concentration of silica within magma makes it stickier and will make it resist flow. This is why Stratovolcanoes often will erupt explosively, as there is no way for the gasses to simply passively leave during a lava flow. This viscosity traps the gasses and makes explosive eruptions much more likely as once the gasses finally are able to escape the level of gasses have built up to catastrophic levels within the volcano. On the other hand Hawaiian style volcanoes have a very low silica content within their magma chamber, and therefore have very flowable lava. This allows for the fire fountains and lava channels that are often times shown in magazines. These eruptions are often times passive in nature, as the gasses dissolved in the magma are easily able to escape during an eruption.

Brazil. Brazil contains about 12% of the world's fresh water supply in the form of rivers, lakes, and underground reservoirs, making it a key player in global freshwater resources.

What is a fault scarp?

A geological landform, a scarp is a vertical relocation of the ground along either side of a fault, usually after an earthquake, one side being left higher than the other. It often marks the surface extension of an existing fault below. Scarps can be small or large, in some cases creating steep cliffs which may later erode.

What is earth's largest landform?

Continents are generally the largest landforms on Earth. The Eurasian continent, a combination of Europe and Asia (since they are in contact for thousands of miles along the Ural Mountains) is by far the largest landform. Even without including Europe, Asia is the largest of the individual continents.
