When a glacier melts, it deposits the sediment it eroded from the land, creating various landforms.
Plucking and Abrasion.
As an iceberg - or glacier - moves across land, it will scrape against it, causing it to weather/erode the land.
The two processes are abrasion and plucking.What processes lead to glacial erosion? Describe them.The two main processes that lead to glacial erosion are plucking and abrasion. Plucking is the process by which a glacier picks off rocks as it blocks over the land. The rock fragments freeze to the bottom of the glacier, gouging and scratching the bedrock as the glacier advances in the process of abrasion.

Plucking and Abrasion.
Any large mass of ice that moves slowly over ice is called a glacier.
glacier are river of ice which to erode the land scape by bulldozing soil and stones to expose the solid rock below.
Its to do with how it is able to form the glacier. There is a cylce where the ice can only cycle round and round if freeze thaw weathering is taking place, meaning that a glacier can erode its valley. The process of freeze thaw weathering erodes the valley.
Glacier erosion is when the ground below the glacier is removed. Glacial deposition is when the debris (eroded ground) is left behind when a glacier melts and the face retreats.
The glacier can carry rocks. The moving of the glacier.
Well, i only know one of them which is impact
Glaciers erode by abrasion when they drag rocks and sediments along their base and sides, creating a sandpaper effect. This process occurs as the glacier moves, grinding, scratching, and smoothing the underlying bedrock and carving out deep valleys. The debris carried by the glacier further enhances the abrasion process as it scrapes against the surface.
