What are the similarities and differences in how wind and glaciers abrade rock?
Wind abrades rock by sandblasting, this is the process in which wind causes the blowing of millions of grains of sand, which bumps across the surface of rocks' surface. it can also happen due to deflation, which is when wind removes the top layer of fine sediment/soil to cause desert pavement (a cheaper way to form pavement☺).Glaciers, however, abrade rock by simply using Gravity. when enough ice builds up on a slope, the ice begins to move downhill. The steeper the slope, the faster the glacier. As glaciers move fowad, the material that they picked up scratch and abrade the rock and soil underneath the glacier, which causes erosion.

How are sediments moved about?
Mostly By water from river.... than Air, Glaciers etc.
How do glaciers accumulate their load of sediment?
Glaciers accumulate sediment through various processes. As glaciers move, they pluck and erode rocks from the underlying bedrock, entraining them into the ice. Glaciers also grind and crush the rocks they come into contact with, generating glacial flour or fine-grained sediment. Additionally, glaciers can transport sediment that has been deposited on their surface by wind or landslides, adding to their load of sediment.
What are the forces that causes erosion?
Wind Rain Snow Techtonic plate movement Compression
How does wind and glacier abrade rock?
Wind and glaciers abrade rock with their brute force.
How wind and glaciers abrade rocks?
By rapid

What carries rock and soil particles?
glaciers, flowing water or wind
Which factor can transport sediments?
Sediments in sedimentary rock can be transported by wind, water, or glaciers
What is the process of soil sand and tiny pieces of rock being moved by wind water or glaciers?
it is called erosion

How GLaciers move?
by the wind
What effect does the hardness of a rock have on the rate at which a rock abrades?
The harder a substance is, the longer it takes for it to erode.
What does wind water and glaciers?
erosion
