Massive glaciers, acting as slow-moving geological abrasives, deepened and widened pre-existing river valleys via glacial plucking and abrasion. The signature [U-shape cross-sect… -

Local Variations
Local variations are dominated by tides, which are primarily driven by the gravitational interactions between the Earth, Moon, and Sun)/. However, localized effects, such as Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA)/), cause areas near formerly glaciated regions (like Scandinavia and Hudson Bay) to experience relative falls in sea l…
