What is another process that moving glaciers picks up debris and moves it along to other places?
glacier landforms
What does the glacier do with these objects that it moves?
the glacier picks up the sediments, rocks, till, debris, and soil and carries them along while the glacier moves and will eventually drop them.
Difference between erosion and transportation?
Erosion refers to the process wherein soil and rock particles are worn away and moved elsewhere. Transportation, meanwhile, refers to the processes by which sediments or other substances are moved along.
Are waves a major force of erosion along coasts?
Yes waves are a major force of erosion along coasts your answer would be true :)
Where till is dropped along the edge of a glacier it forms a?
moraine
Dose morain result to erosion or deposition?
Lateral moraines are parallel ridges of debris deposited along the sides of a glacier
What is the difference between transportation and erosion?
erosion is the process of wearing something away and transportation is the process of moving one thing along the river.
A glacier can be found along the equator in what country?

What's the name of the Valley in Glacier National Park?
There are a multitude of valleys in Glacier's mountainous landscape. Some of the most famous along the Going-to-the-Sun Road are the McDonald valley and the St. Mary valley. Other populated parts of the park include the Many Glacier valley and the Two Medicine valley.

What are glacial striations and glacial erratics?
Striations are "scratches" left in bedrock by glaciers. A small particle of rock, generally pebble sized or smaller, becomes entrained in the base of the glacier and dragged along the surface of the bedrock. These can often be seen on hard bedrock surfaces that are resistant to subsequent weathering after the retreat of the glacier. Erratics are large rocks that are found out of place in the landscape, i.e. not near where they were formed. They are removed from their provenance by a glacier and transported away, before being deposited in a different part or the landscape when the glacier melts.
Wind can carry particles along sandblast rock surfaces polishing or pitting this process is called?
weathering and erosion
How does a continental glacier form?
Snow along a broad plateau does not melt, but compacts into a glacier.
What part has erosion played in the forming of the world's landscape?
Erosion over time has washed away the landscape or another words has worn it down. by doing this mountains become hills. also depending on the placement of a body of water it can fill in that body of water over time. For instance if you drive along the a lake you usually see fancy houses built on flatspots along the lake, thes flats spots are made from dirt that has eroded away.
What forms along the edge of a glacier where till is dropped?
Where till is dropped by a glacier is called a lateral moraine.
What does the glacier do with the object it move?
the glacier picks up the sediments, rocks, till, debris, and soil and carries them along while the glacier moves and will eventually drop them.
