it makes it smoother and can make a u shaped cliff
Glacial erosion requires movement. Thus, glacial erosion begins as soon as the glacier starts moving.

A 'U' shaped valley indicates glacial erosion.
Glacial Erosion formed Yosemite Valley and the Sierra Nevada
A glacial lake is typically a result of both erosion and deposition. Glacial erosion carves out depressions in the landscape, creating basins where water accumulates. Meanwhile, glacial deposition can form moraines or other features that dam up water and contribute to the formation of a glacial lake.
Yes, striations are a glacial feature caused by the erosion of bedrock as a glacier moves over it. These scratches or grooves are formed by the rocks and debris embedded in the ice scraping against the underlying rock surface.

Erosion and weathering
The 3 main types of glacial erosion are plucking, abrasion and freeze thaw.
Glacial erosion shapes the land by scraping and polishing the surface, creating features like U-shaped valleys and cirques. Glacial deposition occurs when the ice melts and deposits the sediments it carried, forming landforms like moraines and drumlins. Together, these processes have significantly shaped the Earth's landscape over millions of years.
