Question

A travel agency wants people to go on a tour of a mountain region with many glaciers. Write a paragraph for a travel brochure describing what people will see on the tour. In your answer, include features formed by glacial erosion and deposition.

Answer 1

The travel to the galciers is something one can never forget. The aura of the place along with the beauty that one gets to notice is so enriching to entice one to stay there forever. The glaciers are one of the many natural wonders our world has to offer. Formed because of the accumulation of the snow year after year, these glaciers are present in many sizes. Besides, the movement of the glaciers, such as the glacial erosion and deposition leads to the formation of many other attractive features, such as the corries, pyramidal peaks, truncated spurs, and hanging valleys. You must definitely visit these places to give your soul this exciting experience.

Answer 2

A glacier is a persistent body of dense ice that is constantly moving under its own weight; it forms where the accumulation of snow exceeds its ablation (melting and sublimation) over many years, often centuries. Glaciers slowly deform and flow due to stresses induced by their weight, creating crevasses, seracs, and other distinguishing features. They also abrade rock and debris from their substrate to create landforms such as cirques and moraines. Glaciers form only on land and are distinct from the much thinner sea ice and lake ice that form on the surface of bodies of water.
