Question 1GS1GS1
The diversity of landforms across the Earth's surface reflects the unique signatures left by different geomorphic agents. In this context, describe various erosional and depositional landforms created by glacial action.
Introduction
Geomorphological agents like wind, water, air bring large amount of changes in landform & geographically.

Main Body
Different geomorphic agents - their associated landform:
1Water --> Floodplains, channels by rivers - alluviated deposits or low lakes - due to lateral erosion & deposited by river. Potamics - plunge pools
2Air formed in desert ecology - barchans - sand dunes of crescent shape. Mushroom rocks - hard rocks in desert.
3Soluble actin - karst topography. By uvulos, domes, stalagties
Erosional Landforms:
1Mountain horns - is headward erosion along end of from river sides
2U-shaped valleys - is due to glacial erosion - glacier meets - U-shaped valleys' left.
3Cirque - bowl shaped under fin of glacier.
4Lateral moraine - card between two glaciers
Depositional Landforms:
1Moraine - glaciers glacial deposits is built up along glacier
2Eskers - subglacial streams - water
3Outwash plain - is front, flat end
4Glacial lakes & ponds - is rain lakes
