Glaciers cause erosion by abrasion and PLUCKING. The sediment deposited by glaciers is TILL. When a chunk of ice left behind by a receding glacier melts, the water stays in the kettle, forming a KETTLE LAKE.

Abrasion happens when the underlying rocks become embedded in the base of the glacier.

Plucking happens when the underlying rocks become frozen to the base of the glacier and they are plucked from the ground as the glacier is in motion.

Glacial till is the unsorted glacial sediment derived from the erosion by the moving ice of the glacier.

A kettle lake (also known as a pothole) is a depression formed by retreating glaciers and/or draining floodwaters.

In conclusion, glaciers cause erosion by abrasion and PLUCKING. The sediment deposited by glaciers is TILL. When a chunk of ice left behind by a receding glacier melts, the water stays in the kettle, forming a KETTLE LAKE.
