Lyell Glacier is no longer active, but McClure Glacier is still moving and has an ice cave at its toe that enabled the researchers to collect fresh polish from an area of active sliding and abrasion.

Go to "Ice & Landscape" (listed on the left side) then "Glacial erosion (subglacial)" 4. What is the distinction between plucking and abrasion? 5. Explain how a glacier works as a conveyor belt. Go ...

Given glacial “abrasion” and time enough, than valleys of rounded section, and firths and lake-basins of a particular kind probably resulted from the flowing of ice. Nature - Firths, Dales ...

The banks of the St. Lawrence near Brockville, and all the Thousand Islands, have been rounded and montonnee by glacial abrasion during tlie period when all this mass of ice was moving southward ...
