Calving: process of producing icebergs Icebergs Icebergs B: Glacial Erosion & Transport B: Glacial Erosion & Transport • Weathering: a glacier is a combination of ice and rock (silt,sand, pebbles, boulders) The primary weathering is mechanical; ice/frost wedging (plucking or quarrying)  Handout WS 17.1 NoteHelper Glacial Eroded Landforms • Erosion: glaciers carry the sediment within the ice AND grind/polish
