Plucking, related to glaciers, is the erosion type responsible for placing boulders in fields due to glacier movement and deposition.
Plucking is the type of erosion that can place a boulder in the middle of a field. In this process, glaciers remove rock fragments by plucking them from the bedrock beneath and transport them as the glacier moves, eventually depositing them elsewhere.
A common mechanism is when glaciers freeze onto rocks, and as the glacier moves, it pulls these rocks from the ground, carrying them along and ultimately depositing them in new locations, such as a field.
This process is part of glacial erosion and showcases the power of ice in reshaping landscapes by both plucking and abrasion, another form of mechanical weathering associated with glacier movement.
