Some landforms created by withdrawing glaciers include moraines (ridges of till left behind by a glacier), kettle lakes (depressions formed by melting blocks of ice), eskers (long ridges of gravel and sand), and outwash plains (flat areas of sediment deposited by glacial meltwater).
The most well known landforms created by receding glaciers are terminal (or end) moraines.

There are a variety of major landforms in Finland. Some of these landforms include hills and low mountains, the Archipelago Sea, and lakes.
what are some major landforms in the northeast
Some examples of California geologic features that formed as a result of erosion by glaciers are Yosemite Valley, glacial cirques in the Sierra Nevada, and Moraine Lake in the Inyo National Forest. Glaciers carved out these distinctive landforms through processes like plucking and abrasion during the last Ice Age.
Coasts have many different features, such as caves and cliffs, beaches and mudflats. Tides, waves, and water currents (flow) shape the land to form these coastal features. Some coasts are also changed by the flow of glaciers, which are huge rivers of ice, and lava from volcanoes. Hope this helped!
