  • Glacial Landforms vs. Wind-Sculpted Features: Identifying Non-Glacial Erosion
    The feature that is not a result of glacier carving out rock as it moves is a sand dune.

    Here's why:

    * Glacial landforms: Glaciers are powerful forces of erosion and deposition. They carve out valleys, create U-shaped valleys, form cirques (bowl-shaped depressions), and leave behind moraines (piles of debris).

    * Sand dunes: Sand dunes are formed by wind action, not glacial action. Wind carries sand grains and deposits them in areas where the wind slows down, gradually building up dunes.
