The ice erodes the land surface and carries the broken rocks and soil debris far from their original places, resulting in some interesting glacail landforms. There are 2 main processes of erosion, plucking and abrasion. Plucking is where water melts under the glacier and carries rocks and other particles away. Abrasion is where rocks rub against surfaces changing the landform. For more info go to study.com/academy/lesson/glacial-erosion-definition-processes-features.html
Glaciers are akin to giant bulldozers, scouring away soils, plucking and breaking larger rock formations, sometimes with rivers running through them that move massive amounts of material.
Glaciers erode land by picking up and carrying sediments with them as they move.
the glacier, which is a mixture of rocks,arth's surface soil, and ice, slides across the Earth's surface and wears away
Answer: Cirques
It is formed when two glaciers erode parallel from each other or when two glaciers erode towards each other
sedimentary rock
The heat from the glaciers makes the rocks erode or in other words melt.
These are glaciers.
Plucking and Abrasion.
abrasion and plucking.
abrasion and plucking
glacial deposition and glacial erosion
The two processes by which glaciers erode the land are plucking and abrasion.
Answer: Cirques
Glaciers cause erosion since they are in form of a block of snow which will melt and erode the land. This can be in form of abrasion, freeze-thaw or plucking.
Yes
It is formed when two glaciers erode parallel from each other or when two glaciers erode towards each other
Yes ... usually from heat.
sedimentary rock
When glaciers form they scrape earth's surface as they advance. Also when glaciers melt it deposits the sediment it eroded from the land creating various land forms.
