What is the process called when a glacier meltsrefreezes and then picks up rocks?
It is proven that this is called glacier plucking or just plucking.
Abrasion and plucking involves what part of glacier?
The base of the glacier, where it is in contact with the rocks beneath it.
Will plucking occur if a glacier is NOT advancing?
Yes, because glacial ice is still moving inside the glacier even if the glacier's front is not advancing.
What process is it when Rock fragments freeze to the bottom of a glacier and are then carried away when the glacier moves?
The process in which rock fragments freeze to the bottom of a glacier and are then carried away when the glacier moves is called plucking. After the last ice age, stranded ice blocks left behind by the continental glacier melted and formed kettles.
What the picking up and movement of earth beneath a glacier referred to?
The picking up and movement of earth beneath a glacier is referred to as glacial erosion. This process involves the glacier scraping and plucking rocks and sediment from the ground as it flows, and can result in the formation of landforms such as valleys, cirques, and moraines.

What is the loosening and lifting of blocks of rock by glacier?
Plucking
What type of glacier weathers rocks by plucking?
Valleyglaciers:)
The process in which a glacier loosens and picks up rock as it moves is called?
Plucking is the process in which a glacier freezes around cracked and broken rock and when it moves downhill, the rock is plucked from the back wall of the glacier.
What are two processes by which glacier erode the land?
Plucking and Abrasion.
Will plucking occur if a glacier is NOT advancing?
Yes, because glacial ice is still moving inside the glacier even if the glacier's front is not advancing.

Abrasion and plucking generally involve what part of a glacier?
The basal sliding zone
Does plucking make a glacier smaller or larger?
i guess it makes the glacier bigger because it's picking up surface materials?
