"Eskir"EskerA glacial ridge could be defined as several things:- An arête: a steep ridge formed by glaciers.- Corries: formed through glacier action.- Eskir/esker: a ridge of sand and gravel deposited by glacial movement.- Serac: a block of ice formed by intersecting crevasses on a glacier

Is glacial lake caused by erosion or deposition?
A glacial lake is a lake with origins in a melted glacier. Near the end of the last glacial period, roughly 10,000 years ago, glaciers began to retreat. A retreating glacier often left behind large deposits of ice in hollows between drumlins or hills. As the ice age ended, these melted to create lakes. These lakes are often surrounded by drumlins, along with other evidence of the glacier such as moraines, eskers and erosional features such as striations and chatter marks.
