Glaciers cause erosion by abrasion and [plucking].

The sediment deposited by glaciers is called [till].

When a chunk of ice left behind by a receding glacier melts, the water stays in the kettle, forming a [kettle lake].

Glaciers erode by the action of plucking and the sediments that get deposited in the ground are known as till.

  • Hence when the chunks of ice are left behind the melt of a glacier they form a kettle-like appearance and hence known as kettle lakes.
  • Hence the options are plucking, till, and kettle lake.
