  7. Someways glaciers can change the surface of the Earth by making the area of the glacier smoother, glaciers can make waterfalls, make lakes, river and cracks in the Earth

  8. Glaciers can change the surface of the Earth to form Lakes and Oceans and shape the surface of the Earth

  9. In the Arctic and sub-Arctic, glacial erosion has shaped much of the landscape. Glaciers primarily erode through plucking and abrasion. Plucking occurs as a glacier flows over bedrock, softening and lifting blocks of rock that are brought into the ice. The intense pressure at the base of the glacier causes some of the ice to melt, forming a thin layer of subglacial water. This water flows into cracks in the bedrock. As the water refreezes, the ice acts as a lever loosening the rock by lifting it. The fractured rock is thus incorporated into the glacier’s load and is carried along as the glacier slowly moves.
    Abrasion happens when the glacier’s ice and rock fragments act as sandpaper, crushing the rock into finely grained rock flour and smoothing the rock below. Meltwater streams of many glaciers are grayish in color due to high amounts of rock flour.

  10. Glaciers change the earth by melting under the earths surface and freezing pushing rock under the glacier to flat out and make the path for the glaciers to move easy.

  11. Ice can get under rocks and break them into smaller rocks or sediments.

  12. 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.

  13. Here is a example of glaciers changing the earth's surface. Since glaciers are melting because of global warming glaciers are making more water which means in some areas of the world they are getting floods which means where they live they are starting to get something called erosion.

  14. Glaciers can change the surface of the Earth because the water from the bottom of the glacier gets into the ground which freezes and digs up rocks and moves them.

  15. Some ways that glaciers change the surface of the earth is when that big glacier off the east of Antarctica fall down it will make Antartica 60 miles shorter.

  17. A way that glaciers can change the surface of the earth is from glacial erosion which has shaped much of the landscape of the earth.

  18. Glaciers can change the surface of the earth by forming Lakes, Rivers and Oceans so they can make the area smoother

  20. Some ways that glaciers can change the surface of the earth are: erosion: (removing vegetation, rocks, and sediments), creating Kettle lakes, etc. Some examples of glacial erosion are Cirques, Arêtes, and Horns. When glaciers retreat, they drop gravel, small rocks, sand, and mud on the ground.

  21. I think the glaciers can affect the earth by ice weathering and then destroying the earths crust .

  22. It acts as sandpaper and goes in the cracks of the earth loosening rocks and draging them along with the glacier.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Some ways glaciers can affect the surface of the Earth are by moving, loosening, and freezing rocks.

  24. the glaser acks like sand paper.

    ReplyDelete
  25. As the glacier slides along the ground, water from the glacier will seep into the ground and break apart rocks, and the glacial ice will act as sandpaper, and smooth the rocks under the glacier

    ReplyDelete
  26. it acts as if it is sandpaper and breaks up rocks under the bottom of the glaicer and then the tiny rocks freeze under the glaicer.

  27. Glaciers can move mountains, and change the texture of the terrain.

  30. Some ways glaciers can effect the surface of the earth are freezing rocks, or loosening.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Some ways glaciers can affect the surface of the Earth are by moving slowing, freezing and putting pressure on the rock so it breaks down.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Glaciers can change the earths surface by rubbing down the rocks and crushing them into the earth.

    ReplyDelete
  33. The water under it gets in rocks and breacks it up. It makes it so the surface is messed up

    ReplyDelete
  34. Some ways the glaciers change the surface is it gets rocks on the bottom and it acts like sand paper to the ground.

  35. Some of the ways that glaciers help to form earth is plowing the earth like sandpaper. Glaciers are also one of the best resource for fresh water.- Abigail N

  36. The weight and the pressure can change the surface of the earth .

  37. It might destroy a city if it melts

    ReplyDelete
  38. Glaciers make the Earth cold.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Glaciers can effect the surface of the earth by moving

    ReplyDelete
  40. it acts as sandpaper because it cracks in the earth

    ReplyDelete
  41. They can make lakes and fresh water.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Glaciers can effect the surface of the earth by wearing it down like sand paper. Glaciers also can pluck rocks out of the ground changing how the land is. This is how glaciers can change the earth.

  43. the ice caps will melt and there will be floods

  45. Glaciers act like sand paper and scrape the earth and causing erosion and that can break off the surface and make sediments and stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Glaciers effect the surface of the earth when they erode rocks, carrying them in the path of the glacier, and leaving behind smooth ground because they act like sandpaper.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Some ways glaciers can change the surface of the earth is how the glaciers move in there paths a get locked in the place making it a lot smoother and flatting the area around it.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Glaciers can change the surface of the earth because they are like sandpaper and the weight and pressure.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Well glaciers are constantly moving and eroding land which is causing the earth to make lakes and mountain ranges

    ReplyDelete
  50. By Moving and smoothing out the rocks underneath with its wait and sliding water into cracks under rocks and then freezing.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Glaciers change the earth's surface because of their weight and pressure.

    ReplyDelete
  52. it moves across the land and erodes the rocks under it because it acts as sand paper.

    ReplyDelete
  53. it can act like sandpaper because it cracks the earth

    ReplyDelete
  54. Some ways that glaciers move is by gravity pushing them to cause rocks to fall making earth smooth theoretically speaking.

    ReplyDelete
  55. I think that, if there was and earthquake right next to one, it would crake because, there is sand paper on the bottom of it. I also think that if that earthquake was big enough, that it might move the glacier.

    Glaciers are going to melt someday, causing a flood and filling the ocean. That swhy we need to get rid of gas-fueled cars and go electric! *STOP GLOBAL WARMING*

    1. P.S has anyone tried glacier water? It tastes JUST LIKE WATER!

  57. One way glaciers can change the earth is that they can carve the land and make rivers

    ReplyDelete
  58. They can destroy small islands create lakes rivers.

  67. Glaciers can change the surface of the earth by carving valleys and river beds.

    ReplyDelete
  68. A way a glacier can change the Earth's surface by, shaping lakes, and valleys.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Glaciers help form the earths surface also it made a natural waterfall that glaciers helped make

    ReplyDelete
  70. Glaciers can make rivers, lakes, fresh water. If all the glaciers melted, earth would be flooded and lots of land would go in the water.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Glaciers change the earth because shaping rivers and dams
