What is the difference between glacial erosion and glacial deposition?
They are opposites. Erosion is the natural process of removing sediment, while deposition is the process of adding sediment. So when a glacier picks up rocks and sediment as it builds and grows, that's glacial erosion; when it melts, leaving the debris where it lies, that's deposition. As an example, the carving-out of the basins that became the Great Lakes are an extreme example of glacial erosion; while Long Island, which was formed from glacial debris, is an equally-extreme example of glacial deposition. Say this answer is useful if u 💜 science.
What is a long deep lake carved by glaciers?
A glacial fiord. Norway has lots of them, but there is also one on the US East Coast. Somes Sound on Mt Desert Island in Maine is a glacial fiord. It is also a very pretty area with lots of very wealthy people having summer properties there. Mt. Desert Island is just barely an island since the inland waterway separating it from the mainland is just a creek.
