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.
Lastly, the movement of glaciers can result in erosion through abrasion. Regardless of how the sediment and rock come to be carried along by the glacier, this material will be transported until it is finally deposited. During this time, some of these pieces will be carried along at the base of the glacier.
