WHICH OF THESE ANSWERS IS A TYPE OF GLACIER'S MOVEMENT: MORE THAN ONE ANSWER

• stays until wind breaks it down

• the glacier grows, it becomes heavier and heavier. At some point its mass is so great that it begins to slide, slowly but forcefully, down the mountain.

• moraine

• glacier

• snow mountains

which one is less dramatic

• wind

• glacier crushing

Erosion by wind can cause immense, choking dust clouds. Dry weather and reduction in ground cover can cause dangerous loss of soil to wind.
