Glaciers erode the land in two ways, by plucking and abrasion. Plucking is the process when a glacier picks up rocks. The weight of a glacier makes it easy to break rocks and boulders in pieces.
Lesson Summary. 1  Water flowing over Earthâs surface or underground causes erosion and deposition. 2  Water flowing over a steeper slope moves faster and causes more erosion. 3  How water transports particles depends on their size. 4  Runoff erodes the land after a heavy rain.
