Contrary to conventional wisdom that glaciers just carve landscapes, they can also form low-relief surfaces by sheltering ...

Earth scientists refer to glacial erosion as "the glacial buzzsaw because they are so effective at taking the sides off of mountains," Humphreys said. "[Glacial erosion] creates a steep-sided ...
