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 four ways that gravity moves sediment and rock?
Through landslides, mudslides, running water, and glaciers.
What is another process that moving glaciers picks up debris and moves it along to other places?
glacier landforms
What feature are the result of a glacier carving out rock as it moves?
Roche moutonnees are the result of glaciers carving out rock as they move.
What are the forces that causes erosion?
Wind Rain Snow Techtonic plate movement Compression
Do glaciers moves slowly quickly or not at?

How do continental glaciers form land?
When the glaciers moves over the land over time the glacier smashes the land and it is very possible that silt and dirt can be added to the ground.
What are three forces of nature that reshape the land by deposition?
Wind, moving waters, and glaciers.
