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
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.
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.
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. https://nsidc.org/cryosphere/glaciers/questions/land.html
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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

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
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.

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.
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.
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*

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

I think the glaciers can affect the earth by ice weathering and then destroying the earths crust .
ReplyDeleteIt acts as sandpaper and goes in the cracks of the earth loosening rocks and draging them along with the glacier.

ReplyDeleteGlaciers help form the earths surface also it made a natural waterfall that glaciers helped make
ReplyDeleteGlaciers can make rivers, lakes, fresh water. If all the glaciers melted, earth would be flooded and lots of land would go in the water.
ReplyDeleteGlaciers change the earth because shaping rivers and dams
