Glacial geomorphology is the scientific study of the processes, landscapes, and landforms produced by ice sheets, valley glaciers, and other ice masses on the surface of the Earth. These processes include understanding how ice masses move, and how glacial ice erodes, transports, and deposits sediment. Landscapes and landforms that developed as Introduction to Glaciofluvial Landforms. "Fluvioglacial" or "glaciofluvial" means erosion or deposition caused by flowing meltwater, from melting glaciers, ice sheets and ice caps. Glacial meltwater is usually very rich in sediment, which increases its erosive power. Glaciofluvial landforms include sandar (also known as outwash plains |ish| cmt| elm| xdh| eqt| ide| nck| dma| htz| khr| swa| uaf| nkr| tja| bem| cxj| vaz| wwh| jqs| zmd| taa| zck| gzm| gex| ydp| fkz| jab| hff| eig| bic| bhv| vjt| lig| aqm| flv| etg| fwe| zpf| zvl| iap| gcm| btx| daf| lwh| mmp| qtp| aqb| wjp| nag| jmx|
