Glaciers carve landscapes to a smaller extent than streams. Streams are ubiquitous and constantly eroding, transporting, and depositing sediments, shaping the Earth's surface extensively over time. Glaciers, while powerful agents of change in certain regions, are limited to colder climates and have a more localized impact compared to the global influence of streams.
