it is when a glacier moves into a large rock mass, cutting its way through.
Its to do with how it is able to form the glacier. There is a cylce where the ice can only cycle round and round if freeze thaw weathering is taking place, meaning that a glacier can erode its valley. The process of freeze thaw weathering erodes the valley.
One type of Alpine glacier is a cirque glacier, which forms in a bowl-shaped depression on the side of a mountain. These glaciers are typically small and may be found at the head of a valley or on a mountainside.
weathering and erosion the glacier used abrasion and then all of the rocks would be taken away by erosion
differential weathering
Antarctica is a continental glacier. Alpine glaciers are a different type of glacier.
Wind and weathering can cause glacier erosion.
A creep is a slow type of erosion that moves rocks and soil gradually downhill over time. Glaciers and landslides are more rapid forms of erosion, while weathering refers to the breakdown of rocks and soils by various processes.

Physical Weathering (aka Mechanical Weathering) is the main type of weathering in deserts.
Glacier action involves primarily mechanical weathering, as the movement of glaciers causes rocks to break apart through the physical forces of compression and abrasion. However, chemical weathering can also occur in glacial environments through processes like freeze-thaw cycles and the introduction of chemical substances from the ice.
Glacier Peak is a stratovolcano and is active.
glacier erosion
it's a valley glacier, it moves slowly carrying debris and melted snow.
Physical weathering.
Erosional plains are developments on the Earth's surface caused by natural weathering of glacier activity, wind movement or water (sea, river & stream) torrent and are subdivided on the basis of the type of erosional agent.
