While glaciers would move more earth, free flowing water is more of a constant, moving in places where glaciers do not form (i.e. Underground caverns and equatorial latitudes). Glaciers tend to displace landscape to accommodate their mass, where water actually carves landscape until it's source is cut off. Historically, water has eroded more features (the Grand Canyon) than has glaciers.
What else can I help you with?
How glaciers affected Florida?

What are the pros and cons of glaciers?
Pros:· Glaciers provide drinking water· Glacier water provides plants water· Glaciers help generate hydroelectric powerCons:· Glaciers cause flooding· Glaciers cause avalanches
What is the most of earths water supply made up of?

What two spheres interact when a glacier erodes rocks?
When a glacier erodes rocks, the interaction occurs primarily between the geosphere and the hydrosphere. The geosphere consists of the Earth's solid components, including rocks and soil, while the hydrosphere includes all water bodies, including ice in the case of glaciers. As the glacier moves, it incorporates water from melting ice, facilitating the erosion of the underlying rock, thereby shaping the landscape.
How much of Earth's fresh water is in Glaciers?
there is 45 million gallons of fresh water in glaciers
How is land reshaped glaciers?
Glaciers reshape the earth by sitting there and slowly turning to water, and as that water flows down it erodes the land that it is on therefore (reshaping) the earth.
What are the 3 active agents of erosion?
The three main agents of erosion are water, wind, and glaciers. Water erodes through processes like rivers and waves, wind erodes through abrasion and deflation, and glaciers erode through plucking and abrasion.
What type of formation moves sediment and erodes rock?
Water erosion is a type of formation that moves sediment and erodes rock. This can occur through processes such as rivers carving out canyons, waves breaking down coastlines, or glaciers scraping across land.
How does nature erode and and deposit rock?
Water erodes small rocks by flowing over them,, ice glaciers drag rocks with them.
How is land reshaped by glacier's?
Glaciers reshape the earth by sitting there and slowly turning to water, and as that water flows down it erodes the land that it is on therefore (reshaping) the earth.
