Glacial movement causes erosion of the Earth's soil (by moving across the ground).
It also will leave behind lakes/ponds if it melts.

What shape of pebbles would be the most useful in determining the direction of movement of the glacial advance?
round
How does the shape of a stream valley compare to the shape of a glacial valley?
A stream valley typically has a V-shape, while a glacial valley has a U-shape. This difference in shape is due to the different erosional processes involved. Stream valleys are eroded mainly by flowing water, while glacial valleys are shaped by the movement of glaciers that scrape and pluck rock and sediment.
What is Characteristics of glacial movement?
A characteristic of glacial movement is movement depends on the balance between accumulation and wastage.

What is the movement of glacial ice called?
[Glacial] flow
What is a Periods of rapid glacial movement are referred to as?
Periods of rapid glacial movement are referred to as glacial surges. These events are characterized by a sudden increase in glacial velocity, resulting in the movement of large quantities of ice over short periods of time. Glacial surges can drastically reshape the landscape and contribute to changes in local ecosystems.
When does glacial movement begin?
Glacial movement starts near the tops of mountains and ridges when the snowfall is heavy enough to start sliding downhill.
How does glacial erosion begin?
Glacial erosion requires movement. Thus, glacial erosion begins as soon as the glacier starts moving.
How is plate movement shape the way the earth looks like?
because the earth sits on "plates" making the movement go as a plate.
How does glacial movement cause erosion?
Yes it does.
