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.
The debris can also be deposited under and along the sides of glaciers. When glaciers retreat back, or disappear completely, these mounds of deposited debris are left behind to create landscape shapes as unique and interesting as those caused by glacier erosion. Go back to this Glaciers online photo glossary and look up the land features of glacial deposition listed below.
