Glacial striations usually occur as multiple straight, parallel grooves representing the movement of the sediment loaded base of the glacier. Large amounts of coarse gravel and boulders carried along underneath the glacier provide the abrasive power to cut the grooves, and finer sediments also in the base of the moving glacier further scour and polish the bedrock. Most glacial striations were exposed by the retreat of glaciers since the Last Glacial Maximum or the more recent Little Ice Age . As well as indicating the direction of flow of the glacial ice, the depth and extent of weathering of the gouges may be used to estimate the duration of post glacier exposure of the rock. An extreme example of glacial striations can be found at the Glacial Grooves at Kelleys Island, Ohio a National Natural Landmark , the most impressive of which is convert 400 ft m long, convert 35 ft m wide, and up to convert 10 ft m deep.

Unreferenced date November 2006 Image Glacial abrasion ss 2006.jpg thumb Glacier Glacially abraded rock geology rocks in western Norway near Jostedalsbreen glacier. Abrasion is the mechanical scraping of a rock surface by friction between rocks and moving particles during their transport by wind , glacier , wave s, gravity , running water or erosion. After friction, the moving particles dislodge loose and weak debris from the side of the rock. These particles can be dissolved in the water source. The intensity of abrasion depends on the hardness , concentration , velocity and mass of the moving particles. Abrasion platform Abrasion platforms are shore platforms where wave action abrasion is a prominent process. If it is currently being fashioned, it will be exposed only at low tide, but there is a possibility that the wave cut platform will be hidden sporadically by a mantle of beach shingle the abrading agent . If the platform is permanently exposed above the high water mark, it is probably a raised beach platform, which is not considered a product of abrasion.

Ventifacts are rock geology rocks that have been abraded, pitted, etched, grooved, or polished by wind driven sand or ice crystals. These geomorphic features are most typically found in arid environments where there is little vegetation to interfere with aeolian processes aeolian particle transport, where there are frequently strong winds, and where there is a steady but not overwhelming supply of sand. Ventifacts can be abraded to eye catching natural sculptures. In moderately tall, isolated rock outcrops, mushroom shaped pillars of rock may form as the outcrop is eroded by Saltation geology saltating sand grains. This occurs because, even in strong winds, sand grains can t be continuously held in the air. Instead, the particles bounce along the ground, rarely reaching higher than a few feet above the earth. Over time, the bouncing sand grains can erode the lower portions of a ventifact, while leaving a larger less eroded cap. The results can be fantastic stone mushrooms. Individual stones, such as those forming desert pavement , are often found with grooved, etched, or polished surfaces where these same wind driven processes have slowly worn away the rock. When ancient ventifacts are preserved without being moved or disturbed, they may serve as a paleo wind indicators. The wind direction at the time the ventifact formed will be parallel to grooves or striation s cut in the rock. gallery widths 200px image Mendenhall 1905 USGS.jpg Schist boulder pitted by sand blast near Palm Springs Station, Colorado Desert.

This article is about an ecozone . For the landform covering the same region, see Canadian Shield . The Boreal Shield Ecozone is the largest Ecozones of Canada ecozone in Canada . Formation Canadian Shield rock forms the nucleus of the North American continent. Other geology geological structures assumed positions around or on top of the Shield millions of years after it was formed. The Rocky Mountains are relative newcomers on the geological stage, having risen a mere 60 million years ago. Most Shield rocks were formed well over a billion years earlier, during the very first chapter of the planet s history known as the Precambrian era . What once may have been a towering mountain chain is today a great rolling plain of ancient bedrock . During the late Precambrian era, fierce convulsions in the Earth s crust geology crust resulted in a warped, collapsed Shield. The foundation of much of the ecozone is now metamorphic rocks metamorphic gneiss , a highly banded rock formed by intense pressure and heat. Many of the minerals that contribute to the Shield s economy may have formed during these geologically turbulent times. During the last ice age , which ended 10 000 years ago, the advance of glacier s continuously plucked and scoured the Boreal Shield, forming striation s in the bedrock and carrying large boulders many kilometers. In retreat, massive glaciers enveloped most of the landscape with great amounts of glacial deposits including gravel, sand, shale, and numerous sediments. The vast majority of inadequately drained depressions that were left behind, as well as natural faults in the bedrock, now form the millions of lakes, ponds and wetlands that give this ecozone its distinctive character. Changing conditions As for the boreal forest, fire suppression, insect control, clear cutting and single species tree farming are widespread. These practices may, over the long term, reduce the diversity of both plant and animal species and increase the forest s vulnerabilit ... more details
