1. 1) What are the main geomorphological processes shaping landforms in an area undergoing active glaciation?
2) Show how one named landform has been shaped by many glacial processes. 

2. Weathering Processes…
Freeze thaw weathering or frost shattering.

3. Nunataks – frost shattered peaks above ice level.

4. Pressure release of rock can cause physical weathering due to unloading. The majority of igneous rocks were created deep under the Earth's surface at much higher pressures and temperatures. As erosion brings these rock formations to the surface, they become subjected to less and less pressure.
This unloading of pressure causes the rocks to fracture horizontally with an increasing number of fractures as the rock approaches the Earth's surface.  

5. Pressure release marks – after glacier retreated.
Spalling, the vertical development of fractures, occurs because of the bending stresses of unloaded sheets across a three dimensional plane.

6. Mass Movement Processes
Cirque headwalls are continually being eroded and oversteepened. This ultimately results in sometimes massive rockfalls from the walls.
Becomes supraglacial load

7. Mass Movement - Rock Falls – rapid movement -creates scree or talus slopes

8. Mass Movement processes – can be slow e.g. solifluction
Mass movement of soil and regolith affected by alternate freezing and thawing. Characteristic of saturated soils in high latitudes, both within and beyond the permafrost zone.

9. Erosion Processes
                                                                              
Abrasion is the process of a glacier scouring the surface it is moving over. Rocks beneath the surface may be ground up or polished. Glaciers may leave long scratches or grooves called striations in the rock.

10. Abrasion involves erosion of the substrata by material stuck in the glacier base. Think of sandpaper moving over a board. The particles can be quite large and they scrape, or abrade, the underlying ground further.
As ice passes over bedrock, abrasion can give it a polished look. Alternatively, large particles in the ice can cut long scours in the basement, called striations

11. Plucking - erosion

12. Roche Moutonnees
                                                                                          

13. Transport Processes –
Supraglacial – rocks on top of the ice
A supraglacial stream

14. Englacial moraine (within the glacier) exposed as it melts

15. Subglacial moraine – load and stream – exposed at base of the snout of the glacier

16. Supraglacial – medial moraine

17. Lateral and medial moraines

18. Deposition
Landforms
glacial

19. A small push moraine - of unsorted glacial deposits

20. Fluvioglacial deposits – from meltwater steams are sorted – with larger boulders dropped near the ice and finer material washed further downstream.
