Glaciers accomplish the work of reducing high mountains into low

hills and plains

  • Glaciers are those that are formed through the fallen snow over many years in a same location.
  • These are formed when snow remains settled at a same location for many years and resulting in the transformation of ice.
  • As the weight of the ice increases, the erosion will be the result of glaciers.
  • Drift or boulder is the main ingredient for the glacier formation.
  • This is the main cause for the erosive action of glaciers.
  • These drifts are angular and they are not sorted properly. Hence as the ice moves, they polish the rocks.
  • As the glacier moves, because of the weight of the ice, it will get pulled along the hills and valleys and will result in a greater damage due to plucking and abrasion.
  • Thus they cause severe damages to un weathered rocks and also transforms high mountains into small hills and plains.
