Huge boulders strung across the landscape that are out of place had been deposited there by a glacier which had moved them from several hundred miles away.

What type of glaciers are there and how do they erode the land?
glacial deposition and glacial erosion
Is a moraine formed by glacial deposition?
Yes they are
Is Glacial striations erosion or deposition?
Eroison
Is a glacial Lake a result of erosion or deposition?
erosion
Is a glacial lake a result of deposition or erosion?
erosion
Explain the difference between erosion and deposition?
Glacial erosion is the process by which a glacial flows over the land, picking up rocks. Glacial deposition is the process by which a glacier gathers a huge amount of rock and soil as it Erodes the land in the path
What is the difference between glacial erosion and glacial deposition?
They are opposites. Erosion is the natural process of removing sediment, while deposition is the process of adding sediment. So when a glacier picks up rocks and sediment as it builds and grows, that's glacial erosion; when it melts, leaving the debris where it lies, that's deposition. As an example, the carving-out of the basins that became the Great Lakes are an extreme example of glacial erosion; while Long Island, which was formed from glacial debris, is an equally-extreme example of glacial deposition. Say this answer is useful if u 💜 science.
How was long island formed?
It was caused by deposition. Of glacial moraine.
What is the difference between glacier erosion and glacial deposition?
Glacier erosion is when the ground below the glacier is removed. Glacial deposition is when the debris (eroded ground) is left behind when a glacier melts and the face retreats.
What of the following glacial features results from deposition a moraine?
Glacial moraine could dam and prevent glacial meltwater from escaping. Glacial lakes usually form behind the moraine as the thawing glacier retreats.
What are the Effect of deposition on earth features?
The effect of deposition is erosion
What glacial features results from deposition?
A glacial deposit is known as a moraine. A moraine may form a dam, keeping back the glacial melt-water, forming a series of lakes.
