Erosion: Deposition: AIM: Erosional and Depositional systems
Form in high mountains where snow accumulates to sufficient depths so that it is compressed, compacted and recrystallized. For this reason glacial.
What is a Glacier? REVIEW = An accumulation of compacted snow & ice

Glaciers.
 As glaciers travel over land, glacial ice can erode the underlying bedrock.  This erosion can happen by:  Plucking  Abrasion.
Formation  Snow accumulation  More winter snowfall than summer melt  Glacier formation is similar to sedimentary rock formation.

Glaciers and Long Island How are Glaciers and Long Island related?

Glaciers Snowfall exceeds melting. High altitudes and polar regions. Gravity moves mass downhill. Firn = very dense snow layer.

Continental Glaciers Ice sheets that cover continents. Kilometers thick. Only 2 exist: - Greenland and Antarctica

Valley Glaciers Begins in a cirque = bowl-shaped basin at mountaintop. Crevasses = cracks in the glacier.

Erosion U-shaped Valleys Cirques, Aretes and Horns. Hanging Valleys - from tributary

Erosion Striations = parallel scratches on bedrock... from rocks on bottom of glacier Polish = fine material rubs rock smooth.

Striations

Polish

Deposition Moraines - Unsorted pile of debris = till Erratics = large isolated boulders. Drumlins = long, low mounds of till with teardrop shape. Outwash Plain (sorted) = sediments that are “washed out” in front of glacier.
