Esker
Plucking is the removal of pieces of rock from a bedrock face that is in contact with glacier ice.
Kames. Many are found in areas of kettles and moraines.
A glacial erratic is a rock of any size that is released from a melting glacier. A glacial erratic can be identified because it differs from the rocks in its surrounding area.
Unsorted rocky debris that is formed during the melting of a glacier is known as a till. When there are many tills that are present the sediment that is deposited forms a till plain.
The rock is called a glacial erratic when it is left behind by a glacier, and is of a completely different material composition than the rocks on which it was deposited.
A slow melting glacier
Sudden, rapid movements in glaciers are called glacier surges. Narrow, fast moving sections of an ice sheet are called ice streams.
The unsorted rocky debris formed by a melting glacier is known as glacial till. This mixture of rock fragments of various sizes and shapes is deposited by the glacier as it retreats, with no specific order or arrangement. Glacial till can form different landforms, such as moraines or drumlins, depending on how it is deposited.
The area that is melting faster than it is accumulating is the "Zone of Ablation." The very bottom end of a glacier is typically called its "foot."
When the glacier is formed the ice scratches the land. When the glacier recedes the ice will scar the earth. This is called glacial scarring.
These winding ridges of sand and small bits of gravel formed from the outwash of a melting glacier are called eskers. They are created when meltwater streams flowing beneath or within the ice deposit sediments as the glacier retreats. Eskers typically have a sinuous shape due to the flowing water underneath the glacier.
The water melting from a glacier is called the glacier melt. This water often supplies the water for some of the great rivers of the world, like the Ganges and the Yangtsee.
Plucking is the removal of pieces of rock from a bedrock face that is in contact with glacier ice.
The unsorted rocky debris formed by a melting glacier is called moraine. Moraines can come in various forms, such as lateral moraines, medial moraines, and terminal moraines, depending on where they are deposited by the glacier. This debris is a mixture of different rock sizes and types that were picked up and transported by the moving glacier.
Kames. Many are found in areas of kettles and moraines.
A river starts at aplace called it's source. This could be an underwater spring or a melting glacier.
Glacial melt water is an expression sometimes used to name the water that results from the melting of a glacier. In some warmer weather conditions, a bit of melting can occur with the water slipping down through the glacier to run along the ground underneath.
