Glaciers often behave as giant relentless bulldozers — rivers of ice that can level mountains and carve deep fjords over millennia. IE 11 is not supported. For an optimal experience visit our ...

The finding is contrary to the conventional view of glaciers as powerful agents of erosion that carve deep fjords and move massive amounts of sediment down mountains. Mountains grow when movements ...

Moving glaciers can cause erosion on mountains, but the coldest glaciers, frozen in place, protect mountains and allow them to grow taller. Cynthia Graber reports ...

This trend reflects that glacial erosion is more efficient in fjords and valleys where the ice is thick enough to be warm-based and reach the pressure-melting point at the ice-bedrock interface.
