Glacial erosion can form various landforms like cirques, arêtes, and valleys. As glaciers move, they pick up rocks and debris, which can carve out shallow grooves known as striations on the underlying rock. When the glacier retreats, it leaves behind moraines made up of this debris.
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.
A drumlin is a long, narrow hill formed by glacial drift. Drumlins are typically elongated in the direction of glacier movement and have a smoothed, rounded shape.
Yes, a moraine is formed by glacial deposition. It is a landform made up of unsorted rock material (till) that has been transported and deposited by a glacier as it moves and melts.
Some features formed by glacial deposition include moraines (ridges of till), drumlins (elongated hills), eskers (sinuous ridges of sand and gravel), and kettles (depressions formed by melting ice blocks).
A cirque, also known as a Cwm or Corrie, is a feature of glacial erosion, formed in a mountainside.
Eskers
glacial till.
what is a ridge formed from deposits are
The dry falls were formed by glacial activity
Windblown glacial sediments.
Glacial Erosion formed Yosemite Valley and the Sierra Nevada
you tell me
its formed by eroion on the sides of sedimentary rock
It was caused by deposition. Of glacial moraine.

The Maquoketa caves in Iowa were formed through years of natural non-glacial erosion.
