How do glaciers acquire their load of sediment?
◦ Sediments and rocks form on top of the glaciers through lithification.
◦ Sediments and rocks are plucked off the ground surface at the base and sides of the glacier.
◦ Sediments and rocks fall off the cliffs surrounding the glacier and move through crevasses to the base of the glacier.
◦ Sediments and rocks are deposited on glaciers by streams that flow into the glaciers.
◦ All of the answers describe major contributors to the glacial load.
