This resource provides a clear and accessible guide to the movement of glaciers and the processes that shape glaciated upland landscapes.

It offers detailed explanations of glacial erosion, deposition, and the formation of key landforms.

Key features:

Explanation of glacier formation and movement, including internal deformation and basal sliding.

Analysis of glacial erosion processes such as plucking and abrasion.

Overview of landforms created by glaciers, including corries, arêtes, U-shaped valleys, and drumlins.

Discussion of the role of meltwater in shaping landscapes and transporting sediment.

Clear descriptions of depositional features, including moraines and eskers.

Includes an accompanying worksheet to reinforce and practise key concepts.
