The larger particles (boulders, etc.) not broken down during transport in the glacier because of the slow speed of glacier and abrasion.

Explanation:

When a mountain glacier start moving from mountain towards valley it creates some sorts of landforms by following some methods like abrasion, attrition etc. Moraine formed as a depositional land form in front, back, parallel and side pf a glacier. It refers to the accumulation of sediments ranging from large boulders to small particles at the front or at the end of a glacier.

The large boulders do not break down in smaller partcles as the followed the process of abrasion where friction takes place between glacier and its valley floor. Unless and untill the collision between two large boulders occur the boulders would not broke down.

Earth's surface and atmosphere emit primarily what type of electromagnetic radiation?
AVprozaik [17]

Electromagnetic radiationEarth's surface and atmosphere emit primarily infrared radiation.

The Earth emits infrared radiation or longwave radiation. This follows at once from the electromagnetic energy spectrum and the respective temperatures of the sun and Earth.

The Earth emits in the main longer wavelength infrared radiation that we can't see. daylight made up of seen light passes thru the atmosphere on the way into Earth, but the greenhouse gases inside the Earth's ecosystem soak up infrared radiation going out to the area.

Atmospheric radiation is the float of electromagnetic strength among the solar and the Earth's floor as its miles are motivated via clouds, aerosols, and gases within the Earth's environment. It consists of each sun radiation (sunlight) and long-wave (thermal) radiation.
