how do waves glaciers cause erosion and deposition
Once the glacier starts to melt all the sediment that was picked up is deposited. The sediment that is deposited by a glacier is called till. As the till is deposited it can create different landforms. The till that is deposited from the sides of the glaciers are called a moraine. The side of the moraine that has reached the farthest length is called the terminal moraine. As the glacier retreats it can create a kettle. A kettle is a small depression in the ground that forms when a chunk of ice is left in the till.
Glaciers erode the land in two ways, by plucking and abrasion. Plucking is the process when a glacier picks up rocks. The weight of a glacier makes it easy to break rocks and boulders in pieces.
