Glacier Grooves and Moraines
Primary landforms are natural features created directly by geological processes such as volcanoes or faulting, while secondary landforms are those modified by weathering, erosion, or human activities. Primary landforms retain their original shape and structure, while secondary landforms reflect changes over time due to external forces.
Some landforms made by deposition include beaches, sand dunes, alluvial fans, and deltas. These landforms are created as sediment is carried by wind, water, or ice and deposited in a new location.
Landforms such as valleys, canyons, cliffs, caves, and arches are commonly the result of weathering and erosion processes. These landforms are created as rock and sediment are broken down and transported by natural forces like water, wind, and ice over time.
Rivers, wind, and ice are three ways. Rivers create landforms by flowing deeper and deeper into the earth. Ice flowing downhill carves valleys into a mountain range. Soil erosion is formed by wind and water.
Glacial landforms become visible when the glacier that created them retreats or melts away. As the ice recedes, it exposes the unique landforms sculpted by the movement and erosion of the glacier, such as moraines, cirques, and drumlins. This process can take place over thousands of years.
Plateau. Valley. Dune.
a glacier is ice. ice forms a landform called a mouth of a river
Erosional landforms dominate an area where the ice flows to, while depositional landforms are found where ice flows from.
Alaska has ice landforms and Florida has tropical landforms

Not all landforms were formed by glaciers during the last glaciation but most of those in high latitudes were, including mountainous regions in lower latitudes.
