A History of Global Climate Change

Question 12 • SC332 Environmental Science B

Explain how glaciers can change the landscape and physical characteristics of continents.

Answer

Answer:

As glaciers move, they erode and scrape bedrock, carve valleys and fjords, and transport rocks and sediment. When the ice melts, it deposits that material, forming features such as moraines and glacial lakes. These processes reshape the land and alter the physical characteristics of continents.
