When a car is moving it has kinetic energy. When a car is sitting on top of a hill it has potential energy. By hitting the brakes, that kinetic energy is absorbed by the brake pads via friction and converted into heat energy. The friction of the tires is also what provides for turning.
Glaciers change the surface of the land in several ways. By pushing rocks and gravel along with its encroachment a glacier leaves that material behind when it retreats. Most glaciers have water melting out of them when it gets above freezing. That water erodes the landscape forming streams and rivers.
Alpine glaciers are glaciers formed in the mountains. Continental glaciers are formed during ice ages and are large, expanses of ice. The high altitude or the troposphere and â¦ the constant snow that is packed together and turned to ice is what forms the alpine glaciers high in the mountains.Unique landforms created by alpine glaciers are: U-Shaped Valleys, Hanging Valleys, Cirques, and Aretes.Unique landforms created by continental glaciers are: Kettle Lakes, Outwash Plains, Drumlins, and Finger Lakes. They both leave moraines and till in their wake.nique landforms created by alpine glaciers are: U-Shaped Valleys, Hanging Valleys, Cirques, and Aretes.
