How Does a Glacier Shape the Landscape? is part of the Glaciology In a Minute series. Definitions of some key words used can be found below. • This video describes what happens to the debris that is made from the glacier eroding the landscape. Transport of debris is explored (Supraglacial, Englacial and Subglacial) and depositional features such as Moraines and Erratics. • This video was produced by Robert Jones and Bethany Hudd graduates from the University of St Andrews for the GeoBus project.
