What is the name of the glacier that has frozen to bedrock?
The name of a glacier that has frozen to bedrock is rock glacier. A rock glacier is formed by angular blocks of frozen rock that form in the valley of glaciers.
Which two spheres interact when a glacier erodes a rock?
Which two spheres interact when a glacier erodes rock
Is a glacier called a rock?
No, a glacier is not called a rock. A glacier is a large mass of ice that moves slowly over land due to gravity. Rocks may be found within or on top of a glacier, but the glacier itself is made of ice.
What feature is the result of a glacier carving it rock as it moves?
The feature that is the result of a glacier carving out rock as it moves is a roche moutonnees. It is a rock formation created by the passage of glacier ice. Or a terminal moraine
The process in which a glacier loosens and picks up rock as it moves is called?
Plucking is the process in which a glacier freezes around cracked and broken rock and when it moves downhill, the rock is plucked from the back wall of the glacier.

Is a glacier a rock?
No, it is composed of ice which though solid is not considered a rock. They often transport rocks cast off by the mountain.
Rock deposited by water melted from a glacier?
Igneous Rock molten rock igneous rock is when it cools.
What feature is not a result of a glacier carving out rock as it moves?
Stratified drift
What moraines are ridges of rock debris formed in front of a moving glacier.?
Ridges of rock debris that form in front of a glacier are called terminal moraines at the point that the glacier stops moving ahead.
What type of weathering is a glacier?
it is when a glacier moves into a large rock mass, cutting its way through.
What is the name of the glacier that has frozen to the bedrock?
The glacier that has frozen to the bedrock is called a "frozen glacier." When a glacier becomes warm enough to melt at its base, the meltwater effectively 'glues' the glacier to the underlying bedrock. This process allows the glacier to adhere strongly to the bedrock and can help stabilize it.
