GLACIAL LANDFORMS  

Definition

  • "Glacial landforms" are landforms derived from the erosion and deposition caused by glaciers and ice sheets, associated meltwater, and the Earth's rheological response. Such landforms include drumlins, moraines, cirques, fjords, etc. "Glacial processes" include deposition of sediments and erosion of the Earth's surface by grinding, scouring, and polishing effected by the movement of glacier ice armed with rock fragments frozen into it, together with the erosive action of meltwater streams.
