The area where you feel the burning sensation is in the ball of the foot â medically referred to as the forefoot â under the top or heads of the metatarsal bones, the five long bones in the feet that connect to the toe bones.
Glaciers erode the land in two ways, by plucking and abrasion. Plucking is the process when a glacier picks up rocks. The weight of a glacier makes it easy to break rocks and boulders in pieces.
Changing Earth's Surface. Erosion is the process by which natural forces move weathered rock and soil from one place to another. Gravity, running water, glaciers, waves, and wind all cause erosion. The material moved by erosion is. sediment. When the agents of erosion lay down sediment, deposition occurs. Deposition changes the shape of the land. Weathering, erosion, and deposition act together in a cycle that wears down and builds up Earth's surface. This cycle, called the geologic cycle, has continued for billions of years. Erosion and deposition are at work everywhere on Earth.
