Which of the following statements is NOT true regarding glacier formation?
Respuesta
  • Form when the snow that falls in the winter does not completely melt in the summer.
  • Over thousands of years, the snow becomes very thick.
  • The weight of the snow turns the bottom layers to ice.

Pregunta 27

Pregunta

Respuesta
  • As the snow accumulates, the glaciers move slowly across the landscape.
  • As the snow melts every year, they move forward.
  • They only move when it is snowing.

Pregunta 28

Pregunta

Respuesta
  • Move down valleys from high elevations to low elevations under the force of gravity.
  • They move up mountains due to the large amount of ice and snow.

  • They can change the rivers running in the area.
  • They flatten all mountains to make the land flat when they melt.

Pregunta 30

Pregunta
How do Continental Glaciers shape the land?
Respuesta
  • Give the landscape a smoother appearance by eroding higher points on the land and filling in lower areas with the eroded material.
