Process of erosion in which a glacier drags rocks along the landscape?
abrasion
Abrasion and plucking involves what part of glacier?
The base of the glacier, where it is in contact with the rocks beneath it.
What are 2 ways glaciers erode the land?
The two processes are abrasion and plucking.What processes lead to glacial erosion? Describe them.The two main processes that lead to glacial erosion are plucking and abrasion. Plucking is the process by which a glacier picks off rocks as it blocks over the land. The rock fragments freeze to the bottom of the glacier, gouging and scratching the bedrock as the glacier advances in the process of abrasion.
Was long island formed by glaciers?
weathering and erosion the glacier used abrasion and then all of the rocks would be taken away by erosion
Can abrasion cause potholes in the road?
Yes, it is possible.
What is the process of abrasion by a glacier and the affect abrasion has on the bedrock?

What is abrasion by moving ice?
it is how a glacier erodes a landscape.
What is a glacier groove?
a glacier groove is when it scratches or gouges or cuts into bedrock's by the process of glacial abrasion.
What are two processes by which glacier erode the land?
Plucking and Abrasion.

Abrasion and plucking generally involve what part of a glacier?
The basal sliding zone
What is abrasion and plucking?
Plucking is when melt water from a glacier freezes around lumps of cracked and broken rock. When the ice moves downhill, rock is plucked from the back wall. Abrasion is when rock frozen to the base and the back of the glacier scrapes the bed rock.

What are he five glacier features for erosonial?
three of the five glaciers for erosional are plucking, abrasion and striane
How is fjord form?
fjords are formed when a glacier cuts a v-shaped valley by abrasion of the surrounding bedrock.
