Glaciation

Please you can check out our website for more:https://toweracademic.com/ and more courses:https://toweracademic.com/courses/ Glaciation refers to the formation of ice on a highland. When there is more snow falling than that which can melt, it leads to accumulation of ice on the top of a highland. When the temperatures remain constantly below 00 (zero degrees), ice sheets known as glaciers are formed. A glacier is a mass of moving ice. As glaciers move, they erode the surface leaving behind glacial erosional features e.g. pyramidal peaks, hanging valleys, corries/cirques and arêtes. After transportation, glaciers deposit all the eroded materials leading to formation of glacial depositional features e.g. drumlins, outwash plains, eskers, kettle holes, boulders and moraine.
