Glacial Carving is when huge chunks of ice in the glacier get broken off and washed away. This can only happen when the snout of the glacier meets water.

What is the difference between glacial erosion and glacial deposition?
They are opposites. Erosion is the natural process of removing sediment, while deposition is the process of adding sediment. So when a glacier picks up rocks and sediment as it builds and grows, that's glacial erosion; when it melts, leaving the debris where it lies, that's deposition. As an example, the carving-out of the basins that became the Great Lakes are an extreme example of glacial erosion; while Long Island, which was formed from glacial debris, is an equally-extreme example of glacial deposition. Say this answer is useful if u 💜 science.
