striations
Long scratch marks on glaciers are known as striations. They are formed by the movement of glacial ice over bedrock, where embedded rocks and debris scrape the surface, creating grooves or scratches. These marks indicate the direction of glacial flow and provide valuable information about past glacial activity and the geological history of the area.
No, sediment of different sized particles left by ice from glaciers is called glacial till. Outwash is sediment deposited by meltwater streams flowing away from a glacier.
They are called glacial striations. These marks are created by the abrasion of rocks and sediment as a glacier moves over them, leaving parallel grooves and scratches on the surface of the rock.
Features resulting from glaciation include U-shaped valleys, which are formed as glaciers carve through mountainous regions, and fjords, which are deep, narrow inlets created by glacial erosion. Additionally, drumlins, which are streamlined hills of glacial till, and moraines, which are accumulations of debris left behind by retreating glaciers, are also common. Glacial striations, or scratches on bedrock, indicate the movement of glaciers over the landscape. These features collectively showcase the profound impact of glacial activity on shaping the topography of an area.
A pointed ridge left by glaciers eroding rocks in two directions is called a "horn." Horns typically form when multiple glaciers carve away at a mountain peak from different sides, resulting in a sharp, pyramid-like shape. This geological feature is often found in mountainous regions that have experienced significant glacial activity.
They are called striations.
You must mean left begins by glaciers! Well there was big boulders for starters. And I think as they receded they left big hills and valleys called coulees! Hope this helps!
Because of the depressions that the glaciers left behind.
As the glaciers retreated, they left rocks and boulders behind.
Scratches in rocks are typically glacial striations. These are scratch marks made by pebbles trapped in a moving ice sheet that are dragged across a base layer of rock. South Africa has been covered by ice sheets in historical times and striated rock is found in many places.
A large hole in the ground left from the melting of a huge chunk of glacial ice is called a kettle Also . . . Large bowl shaped depressions that occur at the head of mountain glaciers that result from a combination of frost wedging, glacial plucking, and abrasion are called cirques
When glaciers advance or retreat, the sediments left behind create a moraine. Drumlins are created by the flow of glaciers that mold sediment into streamlined, elongated hills.
"Scat" or feces is left behind on trails.
glacial deposition and glacial erosion
These marks are called striae and are the parallel marks left on the bedrock when rocks entrained in the glacier scrape along the glacier's base..These are part of the origin of the features called moutonne roches = rock sheep. Which were NOT your usual merino, but were the nick name given to judges wigs, which, when lying on the bench, had similarities with the geological features; the shape being similar, and the striae resembling the marks left on the rock. At least according to some authorities such as Holmes.

A Roche moutonne (rock sheep) is a small resistant hill left behind, and conspicuous for its gradual slope on the upstream side and a steep or even plucked slope on the downstream side. Commonly found where a smaller glacier had joined a larger one, and for the last portion of the small glaciers journey, its ice tended to be uplifted by the passage of the larger one.[So named by the geologists after the name of 'sheep' given to the wig of the gentry as it lay on the bench. The striations on the rock recall the combing of the wig.]
