Why is freeze thaw weathering absoloutely vital if a glacier is going to be able to erode its valley?
Its to do with how it is able to form the glacier. There is a cylce where the ice can only cycle round and round if freeze thaw weathering is taking place, meaning that a glacier can erode its valley. The process of freeze thaw weathering erodes the valley.

Please can someone tell me how long the freeze thaw process takes on a rock, thanks :) xx
Can you make a sentence with thaw in?

Why do glaciers cause erosion?
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.
