As glaciers move over any earth surface, they carry rocks, stones and boulders with them. These are at the bottom of the glacier under very high pressures. As the glacier moves it is this carried material that grinds away at the mountain underneath. This is what causes the errosion.
What else can I help you with?
How is a arete form?
It is formed when two glaciers erode parallel from each other or when two glaciers erode towards each other
What are thick masses of ice that erode rock and move sediment called?
These are glaciers.
What land form is created when glaciers erode backwards into the mountainside and form a shape like a bowl?
Answer: Cirques
What are two ways in which glaciers erode earth's suface?
Glaciers erode Earth's surface through abrasion, where the ice and sediments grind against the rock, wearing it down. They also erode through plucking, where the glacier freezes onto rock and plucks or pulls it away as the glacier moves.
How does glaciers erode by abrasion?
Glaciers erode by abrasion when they drag rocks and sediments along their base and sides, creating a sandpaper effect. This process occurs as the glacier moves, grinding, scratching, and smoothing the underlying bedrock and carving out deep valleys. The debris carried by the glacier further enhances the abrasion process as it scrapes against the surface.
Do glaciers erode and build?
Yes

How can glaciers erode rocks?
The glacier can carry rocks. The moving of the glacier.
What type of glaciers are there and how do they erode the land?
glacial deposition and glacial erosion
What land form is created when glaciers erode backwards into the mountainside and form a shape like a bowl?
Answer: Cirques
What is 2 ways that glaciers erode the land?
Glaciers erode the land through plucking, where they pick up and remove rock fragments as they move, and abrasion, where they scrape and grind the underlying bedrock as they advance. These processes help to shape landforms such as valleys, cirques, and moraines.

Glaciers erode Earth's surface through abrasion, where the ice and sediments grind against the rock, wearing it down. They also erode through plucking, where the glacier freezes onto rock and plucks or pulls it away as the glacier moves.
