- Canyons and lakes.
- Glaciers cause the formation of moraines and eskers. They also deposit glacial erratics.
- A glacier can create water-forms such as rivers, and even oceans if they travel so far that they melt and they turn into water forms.
- U-shaped valleys, truncated spurs, pyramidal peaks, corries and ribbon lakes.

True or false When a glacier is retreating the upstream ice is still moving forward toward the downstream terminus of the glacier?
A retreating glacier is one that is diminishing more in length that its upper supply regions can compete with. The snout of the glacier is retreating, but the main body of the glacier is still moving forwards. If this situation continues, the glacier will disappear.

How do glacial form?
Glacial erratics aren't exactly formed. They were deposited by glaciers that were moving in that area at one time. improved= Glacial erratics are exactly formed. Because a glacier is so heavy, the glacier can pluck large rocks as the glacier moves. When the rock is too heavy for the glacier to hold, or the glacier is retreating, it then deposits the rock in a place where it wouldn't usually be found. This is what an erratic is. A large piece of rock in an unusual surrounding. i hope this helps :)
Does a valley glacier cover cover much of the island of Greenland?
