The processes of glacial erosion in East Africa
- Is a process by which frozen rock and any other loose fragments tear away from the rock as the glacier moves down slope. It is most effective where there are jointed rocks.
- Is the grinding process in which rock particles such as boulders and pebbles embedded in glacier are used as grinding tools to remove loose rock particles on the bottom and sides of glacial valley
- Basal sapping. This is the rotational slipping of ice which involves alternate freezing and thawing of water contained within cracks leading to gradual enlargement of cracks.
