Best Answer

Glaciers carved large U-shaped valleys in higher mountains of the Sierra Nevada, Cascades, Klamath Mountains, and northern Coast Range. The outwash and moraines from melting and receding glaciers are found in nearby valley bottoms. The signs of former glaciers are found in erratic boulders, glacial polish, and high lake basins. Glacial erosion has been significant in the mountain areas.
