during summer. This summer view allows you to see the glacier cravasses. In the readings and
lecture, you learned about glacial crevasses that can be made from different sorts of stresses.
First, focus on the glacial crevasses in the middle of the glacier. Then, look up close at the
smaller crevasses that are found on the side of the glacier. Do you see how they have different
orientations? Please select the best answer that fills in these blanks. The glacial crevasses in

Question 30.5 pts
Argentina has some of the most accessible glacial terrain. However, you will not find this Google
Street ViewLinks to an external site. easy to reach. Before you are told the question, first spin
around and look at this amazing place. You are seeing beautiful bare rock that is being fractured
by the process of frost weathering. Lots of rock is being broken off these cliff faces, but you see
no talus just sitting around. In fact, all you see is just bare rock and ice.
Your question: where did all of the rock fragments that are frost weathered go?
Group of answer choices
The rock is dissolving away by carbonation.
Rock broken off the mountain faces by frost weathering is now buried inside snow and glacier
ice. When the ice moves, the rock is carried away.
The glacier has a lake underneath it, and the rock is slowly filling up that lake.
The rock slowly moves its way down through to the bottom of the ice, resting underneath the ice
sheet.
