Main Body
Geomorphic agents & their imprints on landforms through various processes. Water, wind, and glacial actions form distinctive landforms. Landforms formed by glacial action: (1) Glacial trough/s - Glacial troughs as trough through ravine movement of ice creates. (2) Aretes - It is the pale of mountains caused by glacial erosion on three or some sides. It occurs in the form of shift grade. (3) Cirque - High eroding & trenching by a glacier caused depressive cirques, which get filled with water over time, forming cirque or tarn lake.
Detailed descriptions of glacial landforms: (2) Arete -> It is the pale of mountains caused by glacial erosion on three or some sides. It occurs in the form of shift grade. (3) Cirque -> High eroding & trenching by a glacier caused depressive cirques, which get filled with water (over time) forming cirque or tarn lake. (4) Fjorde -> Fjords are created by glaciers & broken coasts. (eg) form on the eastern landscape of Norwegian landscape (eg) Norway, Sweden. (5) Hanging valleys -> U-shaped valleys are created & formed on the left side as a result due to glacial action. They seem to be hanging over the valley. Depositional landforms: (1) Moraine -> ore the deposition of material carried by glacier. * Tossed moraine - ore found on the two sides. * Medial moraine - ore found on the middle of glacier movement.
Conclusion
Due to climate change, glaciers are experiencing widespread reduction, acting as "positive climate forcing", knowing unless affect on life of smaller developing nations.
