Detailed explanation-1: -Rocks carried by glaciers scrape against the ground below, eroding both the ground and the rocks. In this way, glaciers grind up rocks and scrape away the soil. Moving glaciers gouge out basins and form steep-sided mountain valleys. Eroded sediment called moraine is often visible on and around glaciers.

Detailed explanation-2: -As glaciers move, they scrape away pebbles, rocks, and large boulders. As glaciers drag the pieces of rock, holes form in the land. If a glacier melts, some of the rock and dirt is left behind. Some glaciers leave behind open holes in the surface of the Earth called valleys.

Detailed explanation-3: -As a glacier flows downslope, it drags the rock, sediment, and debris in its basal ice over the bedrock beneath it, grinding it. This process is known as abrasion and produces scratches (striations) in bedrock surface.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are two main processes of glacial erosion. Plucking is the erosion and transport of large chunks of rocks that stick to and get picked up by the glacier. Abrasion is the erosion that occurs when particles scrape against each other.

Detailed explanation-5: -For example weathering is the breaking down of rocks and minerals, erosion is the movement the weathered material and deposition is the dropping off of the eroded material. River erosion happens when the river flows over the land. The material in the river (sand, boulders, silt) is the one that contributes to erosion.

Detailed explanation-6: -Weathering is the breaking down or dissolving of rocks and minerals on Earths surface. Once a rock has been broken down, a process called erosion transports the bits of rock and minerals away. Water, acids, salt, plants, animals, and changes in temperature are all agents of weathering and erosion.

Detailed explanation-7: -Deposition is the dropping of sediment by wind, water, ice, or gravity. Sediment is created through the process of weathering, carried away through the process of erosion, and then dropped in a new location through the process of deposition.
