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 type of erosion formed the yosemite valley?
glacier erosion
How has erosion effected glacier bay national park?
Erosion at Glacier bay is caused by the chunks of ice on the glacier breaking apart and falling into the water
How do glacier caues erosion?

Which is a glacier feature caused by erosion?
In cross-section: A 'U' shaped valley is formed from glacial erosion. A 'V' shaped valley is formed by river erosion.
Which type of erosion moves the most sediment on the earth's surface?
Glacier Erosion
How is erosion different from water and glacier erosion?
Wind does not carry heavy objects.
How wind erosion different from water and glacier erosion?
Wind does not carry heavy objects.
Is moraines a glacial feature caused by erosion?
Moraines are not caused by erosion, but rather by the deposition of sediment and rocks carried and deposited by a glacier as it moves and melts. Erosion occurs as the glacier carries material away from its original location.
What is the difference between glacier erosion and glacier 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.
How does glacial erosion begin?
Glacial erosion requires movement. Thus, glacial erosion begins as soon as the glacier starts moving.
What does a glacier and a river have in common?
cause erosion and involveprocesses of "flow"
Is a moraine constructive erosion?
A moraine is a landform created by glacial deposition, not erosion. As a glacier moves, it picks up rocks and debris which are deposited as the glacier retreats, forming moraines.
