Question 26

Question
Which of the following statements is NOT true regarding glacier formation?
Answer
  • 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.
  • The cooling of magma makes glaciers larger.

Question 27

Question
How do continental glaciers move?
Image:
Picture1 (image/png)
Answer
  • 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.
  • Continental glaciers are too large to move.

Question 28

Question
How do Alpine glaciers move?
Answer
  • 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 do not move because they are too heavy.
  • They flatten all mountains, then move like continental glaciers.

Question 29

Question
Which of the following statements about how Alpine glaciers shape the land is incorrect?
Answer
  • Sharpen the upper portions of the mountains and give them a rugged appearance.
  • When they move down valleys, they scrape away the valley walls to produce broad U-shaped valleys
  • They can change the rivers running in the area.
  • They flatten all mountains to make the land flat when they melt.

Question 30

Question
How do Continental Glaciers shape the land?
Answer
  • Give the landscape a smoother appearance by eroding higher points on the land and filling in lower areas with the eroded material.
  • Sharpen the upper portions of the mountains and give them a rugged appearance.
  • When they move down valleys, they scrape away the valley walls to produce broad U-shaped valleys.
