Question

When the material left behind has been carried by the glacier from its original location to a new location, this is called what
A)Glacial formation
B)Glacial ablation
C)Glacial deposition
D) all of these

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Glaciers break rocks because of the thawing and icing of water in rock crevices. These rocks get carried in the glacier. The glaciers move because the base of the glaciers melts ever so slightly due to the weight of the glacier above (pressure reduces the melting point of ice). This smoothens the slipping of the glaciers . When the glaciers get to a warmer place, it melts and the rocks in it are deposited.

Answer 2

Answer:

C)Glacial deposition

Explanation:

Glacial deposition involves the carrying of earth materials by moving glaciers and releasing them in another place.

The movement of the materials from one place to another involves the action of the glacier. When the glacier thaws or begins to melt, the materials carried in the freeze becomes deposited and released. Glaciers are powerful agent of denudation as they can carry earth materials of different sizes from one place and deposit them in another place entirely.
