Jan 30 2015 Page No 6. What are the processes of glacial erosion?. They erode by two main processes. As a glacier moves down a valley, it creates pressure on the land which creates heat. This melts part of the glacier. This water runs into small cracks, it the refreezes as it gets colder (freeze-thaw). Geography. Department revision:. Glaciation. Glaciation is the impact of glaciers on the landscape. A glacier is a large mass of ice that moves under gravity. A glacier forms when snow falls onto frozen ground one year and does not melt before more snow falls the next year. Jeremy . Fyke. , Bill Lipscomb. Los Alamos National Laboratory.

About 75% of Earth’s fresh water is frozen in glaciers.. A glacier is a large mass of compacted snow and ice that moves under the force of gravity.. Glaciers help to carve Earth’s landscapes as it erodes geological features in one place and then re-deposits the material elsewhere. . 5.7B. Thinking About Glaciers. Glaciers cover about one-tenth of the Earth’s surface. Most of the fresh water found on the Earth is frozen in glaciers..
