  6. Glaciers can change the surface of the Earth because even though they move slowly, they grind parts of the things it touches and it leaves behind sediments too.

  27. glaciers can weather at rocks and make the earths surface smooth like sand paper

  28. Glaciers not only transport material as they move, but they also sculpt and carve away the land beneath them. A glacier's weight, combined with its gradual movement, can drastically reshape the landscape over hundreds or even thousands of years. The ice erodes the land surface and carries the broken rocks and soil debris far from their original places, resulting in some interesting glacial landforms

  36. As glaciers move the snow melts and ice goes into the crack then freezes ripping the rocks out of the ground.

  37. The glacier melts and fall in the ocean or in the ground.

  38. Glaciers can change the surface of the Earth by dragging rocks as it moves.

  39. Glaciers can change the surface below them because of the bottom of the glacier grinding on the surface, causing it to scrape away.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Glaciers can make erosion because they move, though they do so slowly. As they move, often only a couple of inches a year, they scrape away and can gouge out the land, and then leave behind morass, which can be made up of left behind bits of rock or whatever happened to be in the glacier.

  42. Some ways that glaciers change the surface of the earth is by eroding it. For example, when a glacier moves it picks up sediment, carries it and eventually deposits it in a different place.

  43. It makes a big pathway when it moves and destroys and moves everything it runs into.

  44. Glaciers can change the surface of the Earth because the glacier bottom is scraping the bottom of the ocean causing it to disappear.

  46. Glaciers can change the bottom under them because of the bottom of the glacier grinding on the ground, causing it to scrape away and get smaller.

  47. When they melt they make a lot of water and it gets hot because they act as a big ice pack when they melt

  48. As glaciers move they carve and scrape the land below them.

  49. Some ways ice can change the surface of the is ice can slip into cracks in the earth and expands it, It can also scrape the earth away using glaciers.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Glaciers can erode places and leave grooves.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Glaciers can take the earth as a water form and freeze over rocks and sediment, when the glacier goes over the water the water goes in between the rock and sediment and drags it across other rocks and sediment to create erosion. No source used

    it can pick up rocks while it's moving and put them somewhere else.

  62. Glaciers can change the Earth by sliding on the ground scraping up rock and stuff.

  63. One way is that they can pick up rocks, and move them somewhere else. Another way is that when the glaciers move, they drag against rocks, and scrape and wear away the rocks.

  64. They can change the surface of the earth by ice wedging and falling into the ocean and make it disapear

  65. They sculpt land beneath them to change the earth.

  68. glaciers carve away the earth under them as they move ahead

  69. by pushing rocks and gravel along with its encroachment a glacier leaves that material behind when it retreats. Most glaciers have water melting out of them when it gets above freezing. That water erodes the landscape forming streams and rivers. ......so basically it breaks rocks
