What are 2 ways glaciers erode the land?
The two processes are abrasion and plucking.What processes lead to glacial erosion? Describe them.The two main processes that lead to glacial erosion are plucking and abrasion. Plucking is the process by which a glacier picks off rocks as it blocks over the land. The rock fragments freeze to the bottom of the glacier, gouging and scratching the bedrock as the glacier advances in the process of abrasion.
There can be no stream erosion or glacial erosion without?
Wind
What are bowl-shaped basins resulting from glacial erosion on the side of a mountain?
I believe Cirques are a bowl-shaped basin resulting from glacial erosion on the side of the mountain.
What is a horn and when does it form?
A glacial horn is the most extreme type of pyramidal peak. A glacial horn is often known as a horn, which is a mountaintop that has been modified by the action of ice in glaciation and frost weathering. Glacial horns are formed by glacial erosion in mountainous areas.
Do glaciers causes erosion through plucking?
True. Glaciers actually weather the rock through plucking. Once plucked, the plucked particle is eroded.
What are the three main types of glacial erosion?
The 3 main types of glacial erosion are plucking, abrasion and freeze thaw.

What are two types of glacial erosion?
The two processes by which glaciers erode the land are plucking and abrasion.
What is it called when glaciers pick up large rocks and carry them away?
It could be two things, either plucking, a form of glacial erosion where weak rock is moved or erratics, which is a form of glacial deposition in which rocks, even car size, are transported by glacial ice into a region with different bedrock.
Describe two basic processes of glacial erosion?
The two processes are abrasion and plucking.What processes lead to glacial erosion? Describe them.The two main processes that lead to glacial erosion are plucking and abrasion.

What are the types of erosion?
Erosion is the process of the movement of materials from one place to another, and the four agents of erosion are ice, water, wind, and gravity. Two types of glacial erosion are plucking and abrasion
What form by glacial erosion?
Eskers
What are the types of features that form from glacial erosion?
Glacial Erosion formed Yosemite Valley and the Sierra Nevada
Could plucking can move only small stones?
glacial plucking moves both small and big stones
Is esker cause by glacial erosion?
Yes it is Glacial Erosion
Form of erosion that created the Great Lakes when they melted?
Glacial errosion
How does glacial erosion begin?
Glacial erosion requires movement. Thus, glacial erosion begins as soon as the glacier starts moving.
