Glaciers shape the landscape through a process called glaciation. As glaciers move, they erode the land by scraping and plucking rocks and soil from the ground. This process creates valleys, fjords, and other unique landforms. Additionally, glaciers deposit sediment as they melt, forming features such as moraines, drumlins, and eskers. Over long periods of time, the movement and melting of glaciers can dramatically transform the landscape by carving out valleys, smoothing mountains, and leaving behind distinctive features.
