whether the snout of the glacier advances or retreats, ice within the glacier itself is continuouslylowing down slope to melt away. as it does so, the ice carries tons of rock, silt and other debris. some of this material comes from the mechanical weathering and toppling of rocks onto the surface of the glacier. other material is plucked and scraped out but the ice as it flows across the bedrock. glaciers erode in a very characteristic style. they polish, they grind, they gouge, they pluck away at the rocks that are there, totally destroying any topography that was already present. any streams in its path are obliterated by the oncoming ice. the ice itself is hardly pure. it's dirty. it's filled with everything the ice previously scratched and ground away at. so a glacier is moving like ice-filled sandpaper and uses the rocks and sand debris within itself to further gouge and scrape the earth. the tremendous erosive power of moving ice is evident in areas where glaciers have melted away, exposing the bedrock. these surfaces were polished smooth by glacial ice. grit, caught beneath th
