Impacts Of Glaciation - Subi
Deposition
BY MELTWATER : water released by melting of snow, icebergs, or glaciers. this water can pool up in various areas on the earths surface.
By Still Water
The melt water can pool up in a depression on the surface of the earth. this makes little tiny lakes everywhere
By Moving Water
Melt water pools can move around carry things like rocks and soil with it, this results in sediment all over the place.
BY ICE
Moraines
An accumulation of debris previously carried by a glacier. similar to pools of melt water.
Till plains
Little hills formed from sediment that comes from glaciers. if there are little depressions in the land it will cause moraines to form.

CHANGES TO DRAINING PATTERNS
Glaciers can mess with drainage patterns. they can add more water to the surface flow. this affects the plants that use the water because the oxygen levels in the soil drop.
REMOVAL OF MATERIALS
Surface material being removed by glaciers and scrapes from earths crust. this leaves bare rock behind. may also leave depressions in the rock that will hold water.
