Valleys:
* U-shaped Valleys: Glaciers carve out wide, U-shaped valleys with steep, almost vertical sides and a flat bottom. This contrasts with the V-shaped valleys created by rivers.
* Hanging Valleys: Smaller tributary glaciers carve valleys higher up the mountainside than the main valley. When the ice melts, these tributary valleys are left hanging above the main valley, often creating stunning waterfalls.
Mountains:
* Cirques: These are bowl-shaped depressions formed at the head of a glacier, often containing a small lake called a tarn.
* Aretes: Sharp, jagged ridges formed between two cirques.
* Peaks: Pointed mountain summits formed by the intersection of several aretes.
* Horns: Pyramid-shaped peaks formed by the intersection of multiple cirques and aretes.
Other Features:
* Fjords: Deep, narrow inlets of the sea created by glacial erosion. These are often found in coastal areas where glaciers reached the ocean.
* Moraines: Ridges of rock debris (till) deposited by glaciers. There are different types: terminal moraine (at the end of a glacier), lateral moraine (along the sides), medial moraine (formed from the merging of two glaciers), and ground moraine (spread across the landscape).
* Drumlins: Elongated hills formed by the deposition and shaping of till beneath a glacier.
* Eskers: Long, winding ridges of sand and gravel deposited by meltwater flowing within a glacier.
* Kames: Mounds of sand and gravel deposited by meltwater at the edge of a glacier.
Note: While ice erosion is a powerful force shaping landscapes, the final appearance of these features is often further modified by other geological processes such as weathering, erosion by rivers and wind, and the action of vegetation.
