Explain how a glacier is both a constructive and destructive process
Glaciers destruct the Earth by carving into canyons. Glaciers construct the Earth by dropping off sediment in various places.

Erosion by ocean waves/water
500
Explain the purpose of this structure
Seawalls absorb the pounding of waves and
protect the coast behind it.
