The whole world is going to be ice.

How glaciers change the Earth is by while they are moving, they pick up rocks and soil and leave grooves in the rock from where they were.

Some ways that glaciers change the surface of the earth are, they can tear trees down and flatten hills and valleys.

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.

It can move across the land and change the land it moves across.

They are weathering and erosion to brake down glaciers.

When the glaciers move they carve out of the earth.

Glaciers slide across land carrying rocks. Rocks are picked up and dropped off.

Glaciers change the surface of the Earth by destroying everything in its path it flattens the ground and erodes it.

Glaciers can change the surface if they crash into the surface they can caus rock falls

The glaciers can change the surface of the earth by brake every thing in its path.

Brandon P said...

Glaciers change the surface of the land in several ways. By pushing rocks and gravel along with its encroachment a glacier leaves that material behind when it retreats.

The glaciers change the surface of the Earth by Eroding the ground when it moves, and when it picks up the eroded pieces and depositing them somewhere else.

When they slide or move across the land they pick up rocks and soil which changes the Ground beneath it.

Glaciers fall and smash some of the earth in the way.

The glaciers can change the Earth's surface by when it moves it picks up sediment and deposits the sediment somewhere else.

Glaciers change the surface because when they move they take everything with them they pick up rocks and drop them off in different places when they melt.

It can change the surface of the earth by freezing it and wrecking stuff if a avilanch is to ocure.

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

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

By eroding the ground and crushing it.

Cordelia R said...

Ice glaciers change the surface of the Earth by creating larger mounds or ice blocks that break up the surface.

Glaciers cause the weather on rocks and make the earths surface smooth as glass.

When Glaciers slide across the surface it picks up rocks and sand. and the ground beneath it changes as the objects fall off.

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

Jacob Varney said...

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

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

Sameena F. said...

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

Richie P. said...

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.

The glaciers can change the Earth's surface by moving it picks up sediment and drops it somewhere else.

Anthony B said...

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.

Jacob Esty said...

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

Dakota Sanborn said...

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

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.

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

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.

Glaciers can erode places and leave grooves.

Nate P said...

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

One of the ways is ice wedging.

Glaciers can break down rocks.

A way that glaciers can change the surface of the earth is by erosion. An example of glaciers eroding is when they carrie sediment and take it to other places.

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

Nicole Printy said...

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

Logan H. said...

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.

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

They sculpt land beneath them to change the earth.

glaciers carve away the earth under them as they move ahead

theresa t said...

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
