Glacial Processes and Landforms
Students will explore the processes of glacial erosion, transportation, and deposition, and the landforms they create.
Key Questions
- Explain the processes of glacial erosion, such as plucking and abrasion.
- Analyze how glacial movement shapes distinctive landforms like U-shaped valleys and arêtes.
- Compare the characteristics of erosional and depositional landforms in a glaciated landscape.
