How does rocks look after being dumped by a glacier?
after being all dumped out, the rocks might have deep scratches and marks.
What is the process that the rocks dragged by glaciers produce grooves and scratches in bedrock is this the definition?
By the passing by of a glacier.
Rocks at base of advancing glacier?
The embedded rocks grind away the bedrock beneath the glacier, leaving scratches, striae, on the rock. In doing this, they tend to round off the corners of all but the largest boulders, and produce huge quantities rock flour. The smaller rocks tend to polish the basement. If upstream there is a harder rock, such as volcanic or granite, then the bed will be more deeply excavated than if all the grind stones are homogeneous. The rocks enter deeply into the glacier at bergschrunds (crevasses at glacier edge), or through ordinary crevasses where the glacier goes over a step in its bed.
How can glaciers erode rocks?
The glacier can carry rocks. The moving of the glacier.
