Glacial ice erosion will form: * Corries (cirques) * Aretes * Pyramidal Peaks * U-shaped troughs * Hanging Valleys * Truncated Spurs * Rouche Moutonees * Striations * Rock Steps Sediment deposition (resulting from glacial processes) will form: * Ice-transported boulders * Erratics * Lateral moraines * Medial moraines * Terminal moraines * Recessional moraines * Push moraines * Varves * Eskers * Delta kames * Kame terraces * Braided streams * Flat bottoms to U-shaped valleys
terminal moraines--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------They can be:Cirques, bowl-shaped depressions where glacial ice cuts back into the mountain walls.Horns, sharp, pyramid-like peaks that form when three or more alpine glaciers carve a mountain.Arête, a jagged ridges that form between two or more cirques that cut into the same mountain.Also U-shaped valleys and Hanging Valleys.
Alpine glaciers form when snow accumulates in a mountain valley and compacts over time into ice. The weight of the ice causes it to flow downhill, carving out the valley and creating a glacier. Cold temperatures and consistent snowfall are necessary to sustain an alpine glacier.
U-shaped valleys carved by glaciers Moraines, which are ridges of glacially deposited sediment Hanging valleys, created as smaller glaciers merge with larger ones Glacial lakes formed by the melting of ice sheets
The correct spelling is "icicle" (a long, thin hanging ice form)
No, glaciers form from snow that falls high in the mountains then consolidates and refreezes into ice under the weight of later snows. This ice and snow then flows down the mountains into valleys producing a characteristic U-shaped erosion pattern in those valleys.

Flooded glacial valleys are valleys carved out by glaciers during the last Ice Age which are now submerged under water. These valleys can form deep fjords, where seawater has filled in the glacially-carved depressions. Examples include the fjords of Norway and Alaska.
Glaciers can form various shapes, including valley glaciers, ice sheets, and ice caps. Valley glaciers form in mountain valleys, while ice sheets cover vast areas of land. Ice caps are smaller ice masses that are typically dome-shaped and found in polar regions.

The glaciers rubs against the land form which changes the land form into a U shape valley this works because the ice is so packed it pushes any land as in dirt sand and minerals out the way creating the valley
