Difference between Geomorphology and Plucking (glaciation)

Geomorphology vs. Plucking (glaciation)

Geomorphology (from Ancient Greek: γῆ, gê, "earth"; μορφή, morphḗ, "form"; and λόγος, lógos, "study") is the scientific study of the origin and evolution of topographic and bathymetric features created by physical, chemical or biological processes operating at or near the Earth's surface. Plucking, also referred to as quarrying, is a glacial phenomenon that is responsible for the erosion and transportation of individual pieces of bedrock, especially large "joint blocks".

Similarities between Geomorphology and Plucking (glaciation)

Geomorphology and Plucking (glaciation) have 3 things in common (in Unionpedia): Abrasion (geology), Glacier, Moraine.

Abrasion (geology)

Abrasion is a process of erosion which occurs when material being transported wears away at a surface over time.

Glacier

A glacier is a persistent body of dense ice that is constantly moving under its own weight; it forms where the accumulation of snow exceeds its ablation (melting and sublimation) over many years, often centuries.

Moraine

A moraine is any glacially formed accumulation of unconsolidated glacial debris (regolith and rock) that occurs in both currently and formerly glaciated regions on Earth (i.e. a past glacial maximum), through geomorphological processes.
