new location, or deposited.

What feature is the result of a glacier carving out rock as it moves
The feature that is the result of a glacier carving out rock as

What happens at a convergent boundary
A convergent plate boundary is a location where two tectonic plates are moving toward each other, often causing one plate to slide below the others.
