What is a frozen river that erodes slowly?
A glacier is a slow-moving river of ice that erodes the landscape over time. Glaciers flow due to gravity, picking up rocks and debris along the way that contribute to erosion. The movement of a glacier can create valleys, fjords, and other unique geological features.
How do valley glaciers form?
A U-shaped valley begins as a V-shaped river valley. If the temperature is low enough, a glacier (river of ice) forms inside the valley. As the glacier slowly moves, it scours the valley floor when the temperature rises and the glaciers melts away, a U-shaped valley is left behind.
How do glaciers form u-shaped valleys?
A U-shaped valley begins as a V-shaped river valley. If the temperature is low enough, a glacier (river of ice) forms inside the valley. As the glacier slowly moves, it scours the valley floor when the temperature rises and the glaciers melts away, a U-shaped valley is left behind.
What are the characteristics of a waterfall?
The running water in the river erodes the landscape.When the river tumbles at steep angle over very hard rocks or down a steep valley side it forms a waterfall
What is the shape of a valley left behind by a glacier?
The shape of a valley carved by a glacier is U shaped. A valley carved by a river is V shaped.
Which is a glacier feature caused by erosion?
In cross-section: A 'U' shaped valley is formed from glacial erosion. A 'V' shaped valley is formed by river erosion.
How do river form in valley?
A river valley forms from a river from the river going into a valley
What are the three ways in which a river erodes its valley?
Corrasion, Hydraulic action, Attrition
What is a frozen river that flows slowly dwon a valley?
is a glacier.
What process forms cannyons?
usualy, there is a river flowing through it that erodes it.
How is a valley glacier system like a river system?
Both valley glacier and river systems consist of flowing water that erodes the landscape and transports sediment downstream. They both have a main channel where the flow of water is concentrated, along with tributaries that feed into the main channel. Additionally, both systems play a role in shaping the land through erosion and deposition processes.
