Glacial Erosion and Depositional Features How Do Glaciers Affect the Landscape?
 As glaciers travel over land, glacial ice can erode the underlying bedrock.  This erosion can happen by:  Plucking  Abrasion.

Glaciers. Essential Points Glaciers are flowing streams of ice Glaciers have a zone of accumulation where snowfall exceeds losses (ablation) Accumulation.

GLACIERS What is a glacier? Large volume of ice on land Doesn’t melt in the summer Ice moves and flows with the pull of gravity What does it take? Very.
Ch 15: p  Enormous masses of moving ice created by the accumulation and compaction of snow.  Powerful agents of erosion ~ have carved some.
