What are two processes by which glacier erode the land?
Plucking and Abrasion.
How can a iceberg create weathering?
As an iceberg - or glacier - moves across land, it will scrape against it, causing it to weather/erode the land.
What are 2 ways glaciers 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.
Why is freeze thaw weathering absoloutely vital if a glacier is going to be able to erode its valley?
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.
How does a glacier affects the land?
A glacier can completely reshape the land. As it is made of very heavy ice, this ice can erode surfaces from the debris and rocks that it carries and the amount of pressure it places on the surface beneath it during its movement.

How is a glacire formed?
glacier are river of ice which to erode the land scape by bulldozing soil and stones to expose the solid rock below.
What two forms of water that can erode the earth?
glacier and moraine
The two process by which waves erode the land are?
Well, i only know one of them which is impact
How can glaciers erode rocks?
The glacier can carry rocks. The moving of the glacier.
What is the process of glaciers when it wears away land?
The process of a glacier melting takes place over a long period of time of increased temperatures. Only increased temperatures can melt an object the size of a glacier.
