It scrapes and breaks off chunks from rock formations and transports them to another location. The most productive soils in the northern hemisphere are a product of materials delivered during the last period of glaciation.

What three things that cause both an erosion and deposition?

How does glacier erosion occur?
Glaciers can cause erosion because they move, though they do so slowly. As they move, often only a few inches a year, they scrape away and can gouge out the land, and then leave behind morass, which can be made up of left behind bits of rock or whatever happened to be in the glacier.
How does the process of plucking cause erosion?
Plucking is a glacial erosion process where ice plucks rock fragments from the bedrock as the glacier moves. This occurs when the ice freezes around rock fragments and then plucks them off the bedrock. The process of plucking can deepen existing cracks in the bedrock, leading to further erosion as the glacier moves.
How does glacier cause erosion and deposition?
Glaciers cause erosion by plucking and abrasion as they move, picking up rocks and debris and grinding them against the landscape. This eroded material is then transported and deposited as the glacier melts, forming moraines, till, and other glacial landforms. Erosion and deposition by glaciers can reshape the landscape over time, creating valleys, fjords, and glacial lakes.

How do glacier cause erosion deposition?
