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.
In the past, research was confined to looking at depositional landforms and the processes that formed them but recent research has revealed the dramatic power of fluvioglacial erosion and its associated landforms. Volumes of meltwater are highest in temperate glaciers, particularly in summer.
