What is erosion? -Erosion is the removal of rock particles and soil from an area -Erosion requires energy (usually supplied by gravity)

Glaciers and Erosion Glacier = Large moving mass of ice and snowmovingice Alpine vs. Continental Glaciers

Ice Sheet During the Last Ice Age At the end of an ice age, glaciers retreatAt the end of an ice age, glaciers retreat.

Valley glaciers form a U- Shaped Valley *Unlike a riVer valley!

Main Glacial Features Deposits are unsorted –Glacial Till –Moraine

Striations = Rocks may have scratches or a polished side due to abrasion under tremendous weight = glacial grooves

The Great Lakes and Finger Lakes in NY are big examples of striations/glacial grooves.

Erratics =Erratics = Can be very large and not match bedrock/soil composition

Drumlins Opposite of a sand dune!

Kettle Lakes 1. Glaciers recede 2. A block of ice breaks off the glacier 3. Debris from the glacier filled in around the block of ice from the outwash. 4. When the block of ice finally melted, all the debris fell into the hole creating the kettle type basin, which filled with water became a lake.
