Erosion can occur through water erosion (rivers, waves), wind erosion (blowing sand and soil), glacial erosion (movement of ice), and chemical erosion (dissolving of rocks by acids).
A glacial lake is typically a result of both erosion and deposition. Glacial erosion carves out depressions in the landscape, creating basins where water accumulates. Meanwhile, glacial deposition can form moraines or other features that dam up water and contribute to the formation of a glacial lake.
The 3 main types of glacial erosion are plucking, abrasion and freeze thaw.
No, eskers are not caused by glacial erosion. Eskers are long, winding ridges of sand and gravel that are formed by meltwater streams flowing in tunnels within or under glaciers. Glacial erosion refers to the process by which glaciers carve and shape the land through the movement of ice and debris.
Glacial erosion produces U - shaped valleys.

Glacial erosion requires movement. Thus, glacial erosion begins as soon as the glacier starts moving.
the presence of water. Water is a key agent in both stream and glacial erosion processes as it carries sediment, sculpts valleys, and shapes landscapes through its erosive power. Without water, these erosion processes would not occur.
A 'U' shaped valley indicates glacial erosion.
