Glaciers shape landscapes through processes such as erosion, transportation, and deposition. As glaciers move, they pick up rocks and sediment, which help them carve out valleys and create features like moraines, drumlins, and cirques. Additionally, glaciers can erode the land beneath them through abrasion and plucking, shaping the landscape over time.
