Glacial
Erosion and Transportation of Sediment
This site gives a brief overview of the ways in which a glacier erodes material, transports it, and the common features that may be produced, such as erratics, till deposits, ribbon lakes and roche moutonnee. The site is written for a school audience.
Glacial
Deposition and Depositional Landforms
This site gives a short explanation of the ways in which a glacier deposits material, and introduces a few of the common features that may be produced, such as types of moraine, eskers and drumlins. The site is written for a school audience.

At the greatest extent of the ice sheets of the last Ice Age these natural bodies of ice reached das far south as the Rivers Thames and Severn in Southern Britain. Fed by glaciers in the mountain areas of the Scottish Highlands, Wales, the Pennines and the Lake District, the British ice-sheet at one time joined with the massive Scandinavian / Siberian ice-sheet.

Ice sheets have existed on Earth for half
of the last one billion years! In the last million and a half
years, geologists believe that the ice sheets have expanded to
twice the size of today, and then shrunk, more than 20 times!
What causes ice sheets to expand and contract? Are the present
ice sheets growing or shrinking? How will global warming impact
the ice sheets? How do the ice sheets impact the global system?
