Question
The given image is of__________.
- Plucking
- Sculpture
- Abrasion
- None of these
Hint:
It is important for weathering.
The correct answer is: Abrasion
The correct option is c) Abrasion.
Abrasion is another form of mechanical weathering. In abrasion, one stone collides with another. As rocks fall from hillsides and cliffs, gravitational wear occurs. As you move through the water, wear occurs as the particles in the water collide and collide with each other.
Strong winds carrying sand particles can sandblast the surface. Glacial ice carries many rocks. The rock embedded in the bottom of the glacier wears away the underlying rock. Abrasion smooths and rounds stones with sharp or jagged edges.

______ is the shaping of the land present below the moving glacier.
The correct option is B)Glacial erosion.
Glacial erosion involves the removal and transport of bedrock and sediments through three major processes: quarrying (picking), abrasion and meltwater. Mining involves two separate processes: crushing the bedrock beneath the glacier and carrying the crushed rock along. Erosion by glacial meltwater under glaciers is the result of mechanical or chemical processes.
