E. removed soil,making the land rocky

Respuesta :

I said cause the formation of fjords, created Norway's jagged coastline, and removed soil making the land rocky. 

The correct answers are:

A. caused the formation of fjords;

The glaciers, with their movement, managed to carve through the rocky landscape. As they were carving through them, they managed to create valleys between the rocks. After they melted, and the sea level rose, the valleys got filled with water, thus creating the fjords we now today.

C. created Norway's jagged coastline;

Norway's jagged coastline can be mainly attributed to the glacial erosion and the fjords that it has created. So Norway even though it is not a big country, it actually has one of the longest coastlines in the world.

E. removed soil, making the land rocky;

The movement of the glaciers managed to strip the land of the soil that covered it, as it was gradually moving it away, and eventually brought it to the sea. Because of this, the land is mostly rocky.
