Where trees are planted. In this topic
it is to act as a natural barrier to
avalanches.
is something we get from a glacier
that benefits us
Barriers that are built on the sides of
mountains to prevent/ slow
avalanches.
When material is carried and dragged
under a glacier. This is what scrapes
and shapes the landscape causing
different glacial features to form e.g.
corries and arêtes.
Where the ice in a glacier melts and

Reforestation cab be more
aesthetically pleasing than snow
fences.
Glacial meltwater is a resource
that provides drinking water to
almost 2 billion people.
A negative of snow fences is that
they can spoil the natural
landscape.
Subglacial transportation also
causes erosion at the base of
glacier.
Sublimation occurs on the
Ablation zone.
