The movement of compacted snow across an area!
Glaciation
Precipitation is rain, sleet,hail,snow,etc. and glaciation is the state of being covered in ice masses and snow basically
The presence of large ice sheets covering extensive land areas would be likely in a region of continental glaciation. This type of glaciation is characterized by vast ice sheets that spread over entire continents, unlike valley glaciation which occurs in mountain valleys and is more localized in scope.
Glaciation occurs when snow accumulates over time and compresses into ice. This ice then flows downhill under its weight, forming glaciers. Glaciers erode the land, carving out valleys and shaping the landscape through processes like plucking and abrasion.
Glaciation on interior plains can create unique landforms like drumlins, eskers, and outwash plains. The movement of glaciers can shape the landscape by depositing sediment and carving out valleys. Glaciation also leads to the formation of lakes and wetlands in the region.

Glaciation
Terminal moraine is not a characteristic of continental glaciation. Terminal moraines are formed at the furthest extent of a glacier, marking the point where it stopped advancing.
The Great lakes went through glaciation many thousands of years ago.
The Varangian Glaciation occurred during the Neoproterozoic Era. It is significant because there are deposits found on almost every continent, and deposits are found interbedded with marine limestones. This indicates a mass glaciation which affected even low altitudes. Glaciation was caused by the distribution of the continents. All the continents were situated at low latitudes with open oceans at the poles, a configuration that has never happened since.
