Glaciation refers to the process of glaciers shaping the Earth's landscape through their movement and deposition. Loess is a type of wind-blown sediment that is fertile and important for agriculture. Dikes are structures built to control water flow and prevent flooding in low-lying areas. Polders are areas of land that have been reclaimed from bodies of water and are enclosed by dikes. Fjords are long, narrow inlets with steep cliffs created by glaciers and are often used for navigation and recreation.
