Question Q.4GS1GS1

The diversity of landforms across the Earth's surface reflects the unique signatures left by different geomorphic agents. In this context, describe the various erosional and depositional landforms created by glacial action.

Main Body

Earth is in constant flux of geomorphic & endogenic forces changing its features.

Signatures left by different geomorphic agents leading to diversity of landforms:

1[Plate Tectonics] movement are responsible for creation of mountain range along the zones of subduction (ED: Himalaya) & plate boundaries (ED: South America)
2Mantle Plumes → locality to reach formation, Island formation. (ED: Hawaiian Islands)
3[Erosionary features] → uplands, & coastal part-icular sites.
4[Depositionary features] → sedimentary rocks.
5[Volcanic Action] → Deccan Traps in India.

Glaciers are slow moving ice sheets giving rise to river:

Depositional features:

1Being rocks & boulders during movement
2deposit residuum on bed
3Pressure on land
4Lakes formed → (?) depth(?) i.e. deposits rocks
5Provide broken arranged rocky.

Erosional features:

1Pot-holes & striations
2Rupthing valleys & headstream down
3Cutting valleys steadily
4Clean-land form interior
5Erosional outlet.

Hence, Glaciers have multidirectional impact (diagram: Siodsion on the landform of the area).

Glaciers are slow moving ice sheets giving rise to the features.

Depositional feature diagram:

1Bring rocks & boulders during movement
2deposit residuum on bed
3Pressure on land
4Lakes formed → (?) deep(?)
5Provide broken arranged rocky.

Erosional features diagram:

1Pot-holes & striations
2Rupture valleys & headstream down
3Cutting valleys steadily
4Clean-land form interior
5Erosional outlet

Hence, Glaciers have multidirectional impact (Diagram: Siodsion on the landform of the area)
