Glacial landforms become visible when the glacier that created them retreats or melts away. As the ice recedes, it exposes the unique landforms sculpted by the movement and erosion of the glacier, such as moraines, cirques, and drumlins. This process can take place over thousands of years.
U-shaped valleys, cirques, and fjords are landforms caused by glacial erosion. Glaciers carve these features into the landscape as they move and shape the land over time.
Glacial erosion produces U - shaped valleys.
A glacial region typically refers to an area covered by glaciers or characterized by glacial landforms such as moraines, cirques, and U-shaped valleys. These regions often have cold climates and high levels of precipitation, with glaciers being a prominent feature.
Landforms are commonly classified based on their shape, origin, and location. Shape-based classifications categorize landforms as mountains, valleys, plains, plateaus, and more. Origin-based classifications group landforms as volcanic, erosional, depositional, or tectonic in nature. Locational classifications are based on geographic features such as coastal, fluvial, glacial, or desert landforms.
Caves are hollow places that often have an underground space. Caves are erosion landforms, fluvial landforms, karst landforms, and mountain and glacial landforms. Sea caves are oceanic or coastal landforms.
