By water and the sheer weight of the glacier carving mountains as it slides down.
The two processes are abrasion and plucking.What processes lead to glacial erosion? Describe them.The two main processes that lead to glacial erosion are plucking and abrasion. Plucking is the process by which a glacier picks off rocks as it blocks over the land. The rock fragments freeze to the bottom of the glacier, gouging and scratching the bedrock as the glacier advances in the process of abrasion.
Glaciers have shaped the landscape of Wisconsin in a number of ways. For example, the irregular landscape and boundaries of the state are a direct result of glacial melting.
Glaciers are forces of erosion of the land they tend to do the opposite of build it up, they wear it down. However they do deposit moraines and when they melt the land springs up a little.
Glaciers in the northeast region of the United States carved out valleys, formed lakes, and deposited large amounts of sediment. The movement of glaciers also influenced the shape and elevation of mountains in the region. Additionally, glaciers left behind a variety of landforms, such as drumlins and moraines, which continue to shape the landscape today.
Coastlines can be formed by - waves that erode the sand.
The glacier scrapes the surface of the earth as it advances, then deposits that till at its terminus when it melts.
They smooth earths surface
When glaciers form they scrape earth's surface as they advance. Also when glaciers melt it deposits the sediment it eroded from the land creating various land forms.
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 through the process of plucking and abrasion, which involves the ice picking up and grinding rocks as they move, creating U-shaped valleys and sharp peaks. Rivers erode through processes like hydraulic action and abrasion, carving V-shaped valleys and river channels. Glaciers tend to erode more material due to their larger size and slower movement compared to rivers.
Arêtes can form in two ways. They can form when two glaciers erode parallel U-shaped valleys, or they can form when two glacial cirques erode headwards toward one another, although frequently this results in a saddle-shaped pass, called a col.
deflation and abrasion
Stream erode their channels by abrasion, grinding, and by dissolving soluble material.
In two ways: literally by their runoff, and also, more importantly, by their disappearance.When glaciers are growing, as in an ice age, they erode the environment by flowing across the land moving rocks in their lower regions which essentially grind down rocks and topsoil. When retreating, the rocks and topsoil contained in the glacial ice are deposited as eskers.
