Abrasion, when the ice and the load of rock fragments slide over the bedrock
Polish in Polish is "Polski".
There are two syllables in the word "glacial."
The polish word for Polish is: Polski.
No. 'Polish', as in a person from Poland, is pronounced "POE-lish". The other 'polish', as in shoe polish, is pronounced "PAW-lish".
To achieve a high-quality finish on surfaces, follow these best practices when applying SZ Polish: Clean the surface thoroughly before applying the polish to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of polish onto a clean, dry cloth or applicator. Rub the polish onto the surface in a circular motion, working in small sections at a time. Allow the polish to dry completely before buffing it off with a clean, dry cloth. For best results, apply multiple thin layers of polish rather than one thick layer. Use a separate cloth for buffing to avoid reapplying any excess polish. Regularly maintain the surface by reapplying the polish as needed to keep it looking its best.
Glacial moraine could dam and prevent glacial meltwater from escaping. Glacial lakes usually form behind the moraine as the thawing glacier retreats.
Evidence of glacial erosion includes U-shaped valleys, striations or grooves on rocks caused by the movement of the glacier, glacial polish on rocks, and moraines (deposits of glacial till). These features indicate the past presence and movement of a glacier in the area.
No: glacial activity occurs in all glacial phases of all Ice Ages, and we now see the results of the latest within the present Ice Age.
Two types of glacial erosion are plucking, where rocks and sediments are plucked from the bedrock by the moving glacier, and abrasion, where the glacier's movement causes it to scrape and polish the underlying bedrock.
Glacial erosion typically produces well-sorted sediment known as glacial till. This sediment is composed of a wide range of particle sizes, from clay to boulders, due to the mixing and transport by the glacier. Glacial till is often unsorted and can be deposited directly by the glacier or as moraines when the glacier retreats.
Moraines, drumlins, eskers, and outwash plains are glacial features that result from deposition. Moraines are ridges of till deposited along the edges of a glacier, drumlins are elongated hills of glacial till, eskers are long, winding ridges of sand and gravel, and outwash plains are flat areas of sand and gravel deposited by meltwater streams flowing away from the glacier.
The gouging of bedrock by rock fragments dragged by glaciers results in the formation of grooves, scratches, and striations on the surface of the bedrock. These features, known as glacial striations, provide evidence of the direction and movement of past glaciers. These marks can also help geologists determine the extent and timing of glacial activity in an area.
Glacial deposits or glacial drift refer to all sediments of glacial origin. These deposits include materials such as till, moraines, outwash plains, and glacial erratics that are left behind by the movement of glaciers.
Glacial inlet is called a fiord.

Glacial melt water is an expression sometimes used to name the water that results from the melting of a glacier. In some warmer weather conditions, a bit of melting can occur with the water slipping down through the glacier to run along the ground underneath.
