Which rivers is not glacial in origin narmada or ghagra?
narmada
What is water formed by melting snow and ice?
Water formed by melting snow and ice is called meltwater. It can flow into rivers, lakes, and oceans, contributing to the water cycle and supporting ecosystems.
Glacial runoff and what else provides water to the large rivers of India?
Runoff from rain and runoff from melting snow (which is NOT the same as glacial runoff).
Glacial runoff and provide the water for the large rivers of India?
melting snow
Glacial runoff and provide the water for the large rivers of India.?
melting snow
What countries does the onyx river flow?
The Onyx River flows primarily through Antarctica, specifically within the McMurdo Dry Valleys. It is one of the longest rivers on the continent, running for about 32 kilometers (20 miles). The river is notable for its unique characteristics, including flowing during the summer months and being fed by glacial meltwater.
What percentage of water is ice caps and glaciers?
All the great rivers of Asia are fed by glacial melt and about 40% of the world relies on these rivers for drinking and other uses.
Why do rivers often run faster during an ice age?
During an ice age, rivers often run faster due to increased precipitation in the form of snow and ice, which contributes to higher water volumes when it melts. Additionally, the colder temperatures can lead to lower evaporation rates, allowing more water to flow into rivers. Glacial meltwater also contributes to higher river flow rates as glaciers retreat and release stored water. Furthermore, the topography and erosion caused by moving ice can create steeper river gradients, increasing water velocity.
What countries are rivers fond in?
As far as I know, rivers are found in every country, except possibly in the very tiniest such as Andorra or Lichtenstein or the Vatican. To my knowledge, there are no rivers in Antarctica, however there is a lot of glacial runoff.
Early humans migrated close to rivers after the last glacial period because?
Early humans migrated close to rivers after the last glacial period because rivers provided a consistent source of water for drinking and agriculture, fertile soil for farming, and a variety of plants and animals for food. Additionally, rivers served as natural transportation routes, facilitating trade and communication among different groups of early humans.
How does glacial movement change earth's surface?
glacirs pick up and deposit large rocks, create lakes and rivers, and flatten mountains
what rivers receive water from smaller streams call?
