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.

Is a glacial lake a result of deposition or erosion?

A glacial lake is typically a result of both erosion and deposition. Glacial erosion carves out depressions in the landscape, creating basins where water accumulates.

How glacial spillways are formed?

Glacial spillways are formed when meltwater from a retreating glacier creates a pathway through moraines or other glacial deposits. As the glacier retreats, the trapped water is released, carving out a channel that can carry large volumes of water downstream. These spillways are important for draining glacial lakes and preventing catastrophic flooding.


Does glacial advance decreases or increases sea level?
