The area where you feel the burning sensation is in the ball of the foot â medically referred to as the forefoot â under the top or heads of the metatarsal bones, the five long bones in the feet that connect to the toe bones.
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.
Following this video lesson, you will be able to: 1  Define glacier and generally describe how glacial erosion occurs. 2  Describe the two main processes of glacial erosion: plucking and abrasion. 3  Identify the landforms and features that result from glacial erosion.
