| All these different types of glacial
landscapes are created by the same basic geomorphic processes that are
involved in all landscapes: weathering, erosion, entrainment, transport
and deposition.
|
The whole of geomorphology can
be summarised as a set of processes that move earth materials from place
to place around the earth's surface, and most landforms can then
be defined as:
1. Holes in the ground where material has been removed (or the remnant areas in between the holes) 2. Packets of material in transit 3. Piles of material that has been permanently or temporarily dumped. |
