any weak glacial erosion. Glacial series – Environmental Biome in Central Europe Nunatak – Landform within an ice field or glacier Pyramidal peak – Angular...

possible between rates of erosion and the amount of eroded material that is already carried by, for example, a river or glacier. The transport of eroded...

the dominant erosive form and glacial erosion rates become slow. Glaciers in lower latitudes tend to be much more erosive than glaciers in higher latitudes...

difficult to erode. Erosion of peneplains by glaciers in shield regions is limited. In the Fennoscandian Shield, average glacier erosion during the Quaternary...

of erosive agents, that is, water, ice (glaciers), snow, air (wind), plants, and animals (including humans). In accordance with these agents, erosion is...

formation of rock glaciers, and as such many rock glaciers form in valleys steepened by glacier erosion. Rock masses of rock glaciers have been found to...

basins due to the stripping of an irregular mantle of weathered rock by glacier erosion. Some of the major lakes in Sweden: Agunnarydsjön Ånnsjön Åresjön Bolmen...

glacial sediment. Till is derived from the erosion and entrainment of material by the moving ice of a glacier. It is deposited some distance down-ice to...

snow and rock to add to the growing glacier. Eventually, this hollow may become large enough that glacial erosion intensifies. The enlarging of this open...

glacial erosion. The mountain chain is dotted with glacial cirques usually separated from each other by pre-glacial paleosurfaces. Glacier erosion has been...

cold-based glacier ice. Erosion of peneplains by glaciers in shield regions is limited. In the Fennoscandian Shield average glacier erosion during the...

those that result from the associated erosion and deposition of sediments caused by glacial meltwater. Glaciers contain suspended sediment loads, much...

boulders and gravel. The lakes formed in the Quaternary period by glacier erosion. Towards the Andes some lakes have a continuation as U-shaped valleys...

When the channel produced by a glacier is filled with debris, the subsurface geomorphic structure is found to be erosionally cut into bedrock and subsequently...

basins that the glaciers had carved, thus creating the Great Lakes as they are today. Because of the uneven nature of glacier erosion, some higher hills...

by erosion of the land surface by rivers or streams over a very long period. Some valleys are formed through erosion by glacial ice. These glaciers may...

and northern Finland, pre-existing landforms and deposits escaped glacier erosion and are particularly well preserved at present. Northwest to the southeast...

glaciations. However, the origin of both depressions is unrelated to glacier erosion. The Seto Inland Sea in Japan is not a true inland sea but rather a...

The range started to uplift less than five million years ago, and erosion by glaciers exposed the granite and formed the light-colored mountains and cliffs...

surrounded by drumlins, along with other evidence of the glacier such as moraines, eskers and erosional features such as striations and chatter marks. These...
