A small ice mass that spreads outward on a land surface is known as a glacier. Glaciers form from accumulated snow that compresses into ice over time, and they move slowly due to gravity. They can vary in size and are typically found in mountainous regions or polar areas. As they advance, they can shape the landscape through erosion and deposition of sediment.

Which plate boundary creates new land like the seafloor at the mid-Atlantic ridge?

A divergent plate boundary creates new land like the seafloor at the mid-Atlantic ridge. At these boundaries, tectonic plates move away from each other, allowing magma to rise up and solidify, forming new oceanic crust. As the crust cools and spreads outward, it creates new land in the form of the ocean floor.


What are small channels called when are cut into earths surface when sheets of water flow around obstacles and become deeper?

They are called rills. Rills are small channels that form on sloping land when water flows over the surface, cutting small ditches as it moves downhill.
