It certainly did; glacial erosion is very characteristic and geologists can often tell at a glance whether a landscape has been glaciated. In the UK the ice reached as far south as the Thames/Severn rivers and there is a marked difference in the landscapes between northern and southern England. In the south, river valleys are V shaped - created by the erosion of rivers, in the north valleys are usually U shaped; glaciers have eroded the sides of the valleys - any V shaped valleys are relatively modern. The mountains of Scotland are rounded - again from glaciation.

What are two ways in which glaciers erode Earth's surface?
When glaciers form they scrape earth's surface as they advance. Also when glaciers melt it deposits the sediment it eroded from the land creating various land forms.
How do glaciers erode the earths surface?
Glaciers erode the Earth's surface through a process called glacial erosion. This occurs when the movement of a glacier picks up rocks and sediments, which act like sandpaper as they scrape against the underlying rock. Over time, this abrasive action can carve out valleys, create deep fjords, and leave behind distinctive landforms like cirques and moraines.
What ways do glaciers change earth surface?
They smooth earths surface
How is gravity glaciers wind and water alike?
Gravity, glaciers, wind, and water are all natural forces that shape and reshape the Earth's surface. Gravity pulls objects towards the center of the Earth, influencing the movement of glaciers, wind, and water. Glaciers, wind, and water all erode and transport materials, shaping landscapes over time.
What type of glaciers are there and how do they erode the land?
glacial deposition and glacial erosion
How do glaciers erode earths surface?
by your mom. ok?
What are two ways glaciers erode Earths surface?
The glacier scrapes the surface of the earth as it advances, then deposits that till at its terminus when it melts.

Do glaciers erode and build?
Yes
How is a arete form?
It is formed when two glaciers erode parallel from each other or when two glaciers erode towards each other
How does glaciers erode by abrasion?
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.
Can glaciers erode?
Yes ... usually from heat.
What are thick masses of ice that erode rock and move sediment called?
These are glaciers.
What are two ways in which glaciers erode earth's suface?
Glaciers erode Earth's surface through abrasion, where the ice and sediments grind against the rock, wearing it down. They also erode through plucking, where the glacier freezes onto rock and plucks or pulls it away as the glacier moves.
What are two process by which glaciers erode land?
Plucking and Abrasion.
What are 2 process by which glaciers erode the land?
abrasion and plucking.
