What causes moraines to form?
Moraines are formed by the accumulation of unconsolidated rock debris, such as sand, gravel, and boulders, that have been transported and deposited by glaciers. The debris is carried along by the moving glacier and then left behind as the glacier retreats or melts, creating ridges or mounds of sediment.
When a sedimetary rock melts what kind of rock does it form?
When a sedimentary rock melts, it can form an igneous rock through the process of melting, cooling, and solidifying.
When a glacier melts the rocks it carried fall to the ground in a jumble called what?
When a glacier melts, the rocks it carried may fall to the ground in a jumble called a moraine. This accumulation of rock, debris, and soil can form a moraine deposit at the edge or base of a glacier.
When a rock is heated it melts to form a liquid called what?
hot liquid that forms when rock melts is MAGMA
When sedimentary rock melts what does it become?
It turns into a metamorphic rock.
What is unsorted rock material that is deposited by ice when the ice melts?
The unsorted rock material deposited by ice when it melts is called glacial till. Glacial till can vary in size from clay to boulders and is typically a mixture of rock types that were picked up and carried by the moving glacier.

When a rock melts, it turns into magma, so when the magma cools, it can make a new igneous rock.
When a sedimetary rock melts what kind of rock does it form?
When a sedimentary rock melts, it can form an igneous rock through the process of melting, cooling, and solidifying.
