Through Plucking, when melt water freezes in the cracks of a mountain, and plucks out the loose rocks, and also abrasion, when the looses rocks scrape along the valley floor, to pick up even more till, and create striations, which are marks left on the valley floor.

Ice also picks up even more rocks through landslides, or rocks falling over the hanging valley, (which is a steep drop created after interlocking spurs have been truncated, by the glacier cutting through them.)

The rocks and other natural debris then is frozen, by the melt water, and is transported as the ice moves, in a glacial retreat, or advance.

How is passive transport from active transport?

The movement of materials across the cell membrane without using cellular energy is called passive transport. The movement of materials against a concentration difference is known as active transport. Active transport requires energy.

When materials are carried from one place to another by wind or ice and left in another location?

This process is called erosion. Wind or ice can pick up and transport materials like sand, silt, or rocks, depositing them in new locations. Erosion plays a key role in shaping landscapes by moving and redistributing sediments.


A twisted membrane with portions that breakoff to form vesicles that transport materials?

This process is called endocytosis, where the cell membrane invaginates to form vesicles that transport materials into the cell. These vesicles can then fuse with other organelles or transport materials to other parts of the cell.

By what process are surface materials removed and transported from one location to another?

Surface materials are typically removed and transported by erosion processes such as wind, water, ice, or gravity. These processes can break down materials and carry them away to be deposited in other locations. Erosion can result in the transportation of soil, sediment, rock, and other materials across landscapes.


Distinguish between active and passive transport?

Active Transport is the passage of materials across the membrane through the expenditure of energy. Passive Transport is the passage of materials across the membrane without the expenditure of energy. Bulk Transport is the type of active transport. Diffusion and Osmosis are type of passive transport.
