Glaciers

Glaciers are large slabs of ice that moves slowly over a period of time. When it moves it collects boulders, rocks, pebbles, etc. Sometimes it drops big boulders called erratics. On its way, it goes over a mound of dirt and sediments called ( till ). After it goes over the till it starts to melt creating a drumlin. When the glacier melts completely it creates a drowned drumlin.

Erosion by Waves

The waves create a type of erosion. The impact of the waves erodes the island slowly. When the waves move, it takes with it rocks and at the same time its creating abrasion. The waves also create deposition because the waves moves the sand to different places. Sometimes it creates a mound of sand called a spit. The waves erode the rock so much that it creates beaches. The waves also create a long shore drift. A long shore drift is when the waves comes at an angle.

Erosion by Wind

Erosion by wind creates loess. Loess is when the wind deposits the sand and other sediments to different places.

Erosion by Water

Erosion by water or rain creates rills, runoffs, and gullies. When it rains it creates lines in the dirt called rills. When these lines get bigger and broader they are called gullies. It also creates a runoff. A runoff is when the water flows down over the land.
