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

Glacial landforms are created by (twin) processes of erosion and deposition aided by factors like wind, water, gravity etc..

Erosional glacial features:

Sand dashed hillages are formed by headward erosion creating pointed edges called escarples eg: Mount Bleasterne, est martershire
glaciers also form hanging valleys or @ valleys
cirques are formed via movement of glaciers.
horsts are

Depositional glacial landform:

movement of heavy glacier mass crushes the soil and particles forming glacial-glacial silt and morains
Drumlins and eskers are formed by parallel and perpendicular movement of glacial mass respectively.

In addition morals are formed where the glacial landmarks ring the ingetestcies.

Glacial Landforms are currently being lost at a very fast pace due to global warming caused due to climate change. Immediate global efforts are needed to save these landforms and the environment attached to it.
