Holes formed by huge blocks of glacier that have been burrowed into the ground are called?
Holes that form by huge blocks of glacier and that have been burrowed into the ground are called kettles. There are many types of holes.

What is the worlds largest glacier and how big is it?
The world's largest glacier is the Lambert Glacier. It is 320 miles long and 40 miles wide.
What ways do glaciers engage in mechanical weathering?
In short they carve their bed deeper into the country rock, using entrained rock to perform the grinding.Glaciers are impressive 'rivers of ice' but on a photo of one you'll see continuous dark stripes along the length of a glacier.These are moraines, rocks cast off by the mountains surrounding. When an avalanche occurs, it will sweep much other debris along with it as it makes its way to the valley /glacier floor.Some of this rock material will work its way deeper into the glacier through crevasses and the like. At an ice-fall, where the glacier steps in its bed, crevasses will dominate the surface, and most of the moraine will become entrained.The rock ground from the bed becomes as fine as flour - a rather muddy flour. Also, you'll be able to find striae, grooves carved in the bedrock by boulders grinding along on the base. Some striae may be seen in Central Park NY I believe!
How big is the smallest glacier?
the smallest glacier is 20ft im not telling the truth
How does a glacier accomplish erosion?
The glacier is melting on the mountain and underneath it is like a river which eroding a side of the mountain when the glacier melts enough, it will slide down the mountain and into the lake that the river underneath the glacier had created. Hope this helps :)
What is the difference between glacier erosion and glacier deposition?
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.

What happens when a glacier melts?
What can happen when the glacier melts in a cirque
What is a glacier plucking?
When a glacier scrapes along the ground, it plucks rocks out of the ground underneath them, then carries on advancing until it melts and then deposits those rocks even thousands of km from where they were picked up, giving rise to the term alien/erratic rocks (a rock which has been moved from its origin by natural processes and deposited in an area which it doesn't 'belong' geologically).
Where are ground moraines located?
Ground moraines are located at the base of the glacier.
Glacial water is what?
Glacial melt water is an expression sometimes used to name the water that results from the melting of a glacier. In some warmer weather conditions, a bit of melting can occur with the water slipping down through the glacier to run along the ground underneath.
What happens when a glacier melts in a cirque?
the glacier dropped small rocks as it melted. An erratic is a large boulder left behind after a glacier has melted

What is a winding ridge left by melting glacier?
You may be referring to an "esker," a snake-like deposit of sediment left by a stream of running water underneath a glacier. At the edge of a glacier, a "moraine" also can form. A moraine is a pile of sediment and debris pushed by the glacier that forms alongside the glacier - a lateral moraine - or at the end of a glacier's run - a terminal moraine.
Where is the highest battle ground located?
Siachin glacier in Kashmir
How does a glacier go to groundwater?
after it melts it would leak into the ground
