Erosion and weathering.
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.
The main water forms on Earth include oceans, rivers, lakes, and glaciers. Oceans cover about 71% of the Earth's surface and contain about 97% of the planet's water. Rivers are flowing bodies of water that typically lead to oceans or other bodies of water. Lakes are bodies of water surrounded by land, and glaciers are large masses of ice that slowly move and shape the landscape.
Water is the single most important erosional agent on Earth. Through processes like rivers, rainfall, and glaciers, water has the power to shape and carve the Earth's surface over time.
Water is the chief agent of erosion on Earth, as it can shape landforms through processes like flowing in rivers, freezing in glaciers, or wearing down rocks through constant movement.
70% of the Earth's freshwater can be found in ice caps and glaciers.

Glaciers reshape the earth by sitting there and slowly turning to water, and as that water flows down it erodes the land that it is on therefore (reshaping) the earth.
they melt and put water in the valleys and they grow
Glaciers are located in nearly freezing water and the global warming is slowly heating the water which makes the glaciers melt.
Yes, glaciers contain the largest percentage of fresh water on Earth, with around 69% of the freshwater stored in glaciers. This frozen water is vital for maintaining freshwater availability in rivers and lakes.
No, most of earth's freshwater is located in glaciers.
Water is the chief agent of erosion on Earth, as it can shape landforms through processes like flowing in rivers, freezing in glaciers, or wearing down rocks through constant movement.
Approximately 68.7% of Earth's fresh water is stored in ice caps and glaciers. This means that, when considering all the water on Earth, about 1.7% is in the form of ice. Given that the vast majority of Earth's water is saltwater, the percentage of total water represented by ice caps and glaciers is relatively small.
