Hur formade inlandsisen landskapet när själva isen rörde sig över marken?

How did the ice sheet shape the landscape as the ice itself moved across the ground?

✓Slipat berg och flyttat jord och stenWorn down rock and moved soil and stones
2Pressat upp berg genom jordplattornas rörelserRaised mountains through tectonic plate movements
3Byggt upp älvdeltan med rinnande vattenBuilt river deltas with flowing water
4Spräckt berg när vatten frusit i sprickorSplit rock as water froze in cracks

Correct answer: Worn down rock and moved soil and stones

The ice sheet moved across the land and reshaped it. It carried soil and rock material and left deposits such as till.

Pressat upp berg genom jordplattornas rörelser

Plate movements can build mountain ranges; the ice sheet reshaped existing rock and ground.

Byggt upp älvdeltan med rinnande vatten

River deltas form where flowing water deposits material; the ice sheet itself ground down and moved material as it advanced.

Spräckt berg när vatten frusit i sprickor

This describes frost weathering, which differs from an ice sheet moving over the ground.
