Answer to Question 1

Answer: Glacial lakes form by the scouring of a depression by, and subsequent melting of, a glacier.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Ice sheets scour bedrock and deposit till across hundreds of thousand of square kilometers. Rock, till and outwash are sculpted by glacier flow into streamlined ridges and furrows that are elongate parallel to the direction of ice-sheet movement.
