Glaciers are huge moving mountains of ice that can directly
affect the landscape in many ways. The carving and shaping of the land
beneath a moving glacier is a process referred to as glacial erosion.
As a glacier moves over the earth's surface, it plucks up rocks and
sediment, which then get stuck to its belly and go along for the ride.
These particles act like sandpaper and scratch the bedrock below. The
removal or rocks and grinding of bedrock create entirely new landscapes.
