Which processes are responsible for the formation of glaciers?

Answer
A
impact and deflation
B
plucking and abrasion
C
deposition and erosion
D
accumulation and compaction

Glaciers form when snow accumulates over time and is compressed into dense ice. The processes are accumulation and compaction, so choice D is correct. Plucking and abrasion are processes by which glaciers erode the land, not how glaciers form.
