Glacial Processes
Mechanical and hydraulic processes by which glaciers erode, transport, and deposit sediment, creating distinctive glacial landforms.
Real World
The Athabasca Glacier in the Canadian Rockies visibly transports dark bands of debris on its surface and deposits large terminal moraines that tourists can walk across at the glacier's snout.
Exam Focus
Link each process (erosion, transport, deposition) to a named landform to show understanding of cause and effect.
