Weathering Environments Part 3: Glacial Processes

Fluvial processes deal with water, aeolian processes deal with wind, so glacial processes must deal with glaciers! What are glaciers and how do they behave? How do glaciers weather rocks? Let's get a closer look!

For big river to form and end up empty in north america, most of the time here: Needs periods of heavy rainfalls.... like heavy heavy heavy prolonged ones. Like when an asteriod falls into the ocean or on an thick continental icesheet I guess. We hve in Canada a few traces of these ancient impacts in our bedroock. My dad's oceanographers crew studied one called the Corrosol crater in the St-Laurence River near Sept-Iles, Qc. Dates to the younger Dryas events... Anyways, cool explaner your vids! Watch out to not make teachers become to lazy! But I know the kids can take way more... go ahead with some more on what caused the so rapid meltdown of this Massive Ice sheet! They will love this halloween story. ✌🏼( sorry for my poor english... ⚜️)

Thank you for the content Professor!

I love the fixation on glacial abrasion, i never not have a revelation through glacier education

[@cagu007]

The abrasion groves in the underneath rocks are called glacial striae

Did this in high school geography but always love to hear it again from Prof Dave!

Do all bodies of water have a container? just curious

[@SnappyWasHere]

Has Dave done a video on rivers forming? I have always been curious about why the river bottoms are so massive but the rivers are tiny. The creek by my house is 2m wide but the river bottom is over a mile wide. And the big rivers like the Mississippi have bottoms 15 miles wide. Was it so flat the river was just shallow or was there so much water from glaciers these rivers were massive?

[@nerdwisdomyo9563]

practical engendering has a whole video on how rivers form, and minute earth has a good short video on why rivers are always bendy, those two videos are great please watch them

[@nerdwisdomyo9563]

Actually i got that last comment a little wrong, the practical engineering video is a two part series more so one how rivers move… but still, its a fantastic two part series I do have some idea on how rivers form, theres a video called something like “river erosion and deposition” where he talks a little about rivers ages and how they effect erosion and deposition, young rivers form in low elevation grooves and carves them out, when the river is young its much more faster and uneven then an old river, there is lots of erosion, as the river age’s it flattens outs and theres more deposition. for examples, canada has lots and lots of young rivers, because there so young there are many and they are violent, meanwhile, a very old river like the Mississippi is large meandering and deposits a lot of sediment, hope this comment help you understand at least a little what rivers look like when young, tho i would recommend watching all the videos i talked about

Good evening

[@MrLunithy]

Thx Dave.

[@freeriderfact793]

Can you start a series about upsc subject

[@sciencenerd7639]

hello

[@MPH_Racing]

ITS THE ICEWALL!!!!! Durrhh

[@waelfadlallah8939]

Donny i am first

[@brhaneamha]

Dave, please don't discuss with du mp people; you are way smart; 'I am talking about 'In the video entitled ''An Amusing "Discussion" With Jesse Lee Peterson'' That black guy, who knows nothing, said '' My ancestors were not enslaved'' where is he from lol. As someone from Ethiopia, I have been watching your entire video since high school. Currently, I am a Ph.D. student in Canada. We love you, Dave!
