Glacial Erosional Landforms

What are glacial erosional landforms?

• Features created by volcanic activity

• Features created by the movement and melting of glaciers

• Result of tectonic plate movement

• Landforms formed by wind erosion

How is a u-shaped valley formed by glacial erosion?

• Chemical weathering and deposition

• Volcanic activity and tectonic movement

• Plucking and abrasion

• Wind erosion and sedimentation

Explain the formation of a hanging valley by glacial erosion.

• Hanging valleys are formed by volcanic activity

• Hanging valleys are formed by wind erosion

• Glacial erosion causes a hanging valley to form.

• Hanging valleys are formed by tectonic plate movement

What is a ribbon lake and how is it formed?

• A ribbon lake is formed by the impact of a meteor, creating a long, narrow lake.

• A ribbon lake is formed by the erosion of a glacier in a valley, creating a long, narrow lake.

• A ribbon lake is formed by a volcanic eruption, creating a long, narrow lake.

• A ribbon lake is formed by the shifting of tectonic plates, creating a long, narrow lake.

Describe the process of formation of a ribbon lake.

• Glacial erosion and retreat creating a long, narrow lake

• Sedimentary rock deposition leading to the creation of a long, narrow lake

• Tectonic plate movement causing the formation of a long, narrow lake

• Volcanic eruption creating a long, narrow lake
