Answer;

loosens and lifts blocks of rock

Step-by-step explanation;

The plucking form of glacial erosion loosens and lifts blocks of rock.

-Glacial Erosion occurs when basal sliding erodes the rock surface underlying a glacier. There are three main types of glacial erosion - plucking, abrasion and freeze thaw.

-Plucking is when melt water from a glacier freezes around lumps of cracked and broken rock. When the ice moves downhill, rock is plucked from the back wall.
