What feature is the result of glacier carving out rock as it moves?
The feature that is the result of a glacier carving out rock as it moves is a roche moutonnees. It is a rock formation created by the passage of glacier ice. Or a terminal moraine
Which feature is not a result of a glacier carving out rock as it moves?
terminal moraine
What feature is not a result of a glacier carving out rock as it moves?
Stratified drift

What is plucking erosion?
the base of the glacier may melt into the ground . It may then freeze again,as the glacier moves forward it may pluck chunks of rock away with it.

The process in which a glacier loosens and picks up rock as it moves is called?
Plucking is the process in which a glacier freezes around cracked and broken rock and when it moves downhill, the rock is plucked from the back wall of the glacier.
What type of weathering is a glacier?
it is when a glacier moves into a large rock mass, cutting its way through.
How does the glacier erode the land beneath it?
A glacier erodes by the following processes:Plucking: the physical plucking of rocks from the rock face beneath it by freezing around it, then moving forwards, pulling it with it.Abrasion: the scraping of a rock entrained within the glacier against the rock faceRemoval: rocks can be entrained within the glacier, at the sides, in the middle or at the bottom and are transported by the processes listed belowDo not confuse the following with erosion:Rotational slip: related to erosion closely. This is where the corrie glacier rotates round in the hollow, carving it out, but the actual erosion is done by the processes aboveGlacial movement: a glacier moves by four processes: rotational slip, basal slippage, internal deformation and due to gravity. This is not the physical erosion of the rock, but just the way in which the glacier moves.
