How are glaciers involved in land formations?
Glaciers can carve out valleys and create u-shaped valleys through the process of glacial erosion. As glaciers move, they transport large amounts of sediment and rocks that accumulate at their edges, forming moraines. When glaciers retreat, they leave behind depressions that can fill with water, creating lakes.
