Glaciers flow, like rivers, except they flow much more slowly. Like rivers, glaciers can carry sediment, stones, rocks, and boulders downhill. When large rocks are found downhill from the original rock formations, for example, in mountains, one can propose that the glacial ice fractured the boulders from the mountain, and carried them to their -- often far away -- final resting place. Geologists can match the type of stone found downhill and the stone in the mountain from which it was moved by the glacier. This can confirm that the geography in between was covered at some point by a glacier.
glaciers move slowly but when theres alot of rain the water and the glaciers move faster
Yes, coarse sedimentary rock can be made up of pebbles or boulders. Coarse sedimentary rocks are formed from the accumulation and cementation of larger grains, such as pebbles and boulders, that are transported by water, ice, or wind. These larger grains are typically found in rocks like conglomerate or breccia.
Glaciers are an example of water shaping because it's like when water is in a dip. When it's a dip or in the mountains big dip it in there then when it gets cold it freezes. When it freezes it makes a landscape. When you are thinking about glaciers though, glaciers are by snow. When snow falls into a v shaped valley and freezes from the coldness it creates a landscape. When the glacier is gone it makes a u shaped valley.
Glaciers are big ice forms that form in really cold waters. They are like land except in ice form.
when glaciers form gravity starts pulling them and they slide over the ground and it pulls up the earth.
The glacier is ice, the sand paper effect comes when the ice picks up sand, stones and boulders, as it moves forward. It the abrasion from this debris that gouged out 'U' shaped valleys, and scratched marks on surface rocks.

Glaciers knock off and drag very hard boulders and gravels on their path to melting. The contact points between the entrapped rocks and the surrounding bedrock act like a giant piece of sandpaper, either scratching grooves in, or smoothing the abraded surface.

Plants benefit from rocks and boulders in their environment as they provide stability for roots, help with water retention, and prevent erosion. In addition, rocks can serve as an anchor for plants to grow and provide a habitat for beneficial insects and microorganisms.
Apart from boredom and a lack of human stimulation/interraction, there are minerals in rocks that dogs like to lick.

well glaciers grow and retract based on the temperature of the earth. glaciers weight a lot. A bag of ice from the party store weighs 20lbs and is less then two cubic feet of ice. Now image the weight of a block of ice that is a mile high and hundred of miles across growing. It digs into the earth and pushes it around. As it grows it picks up boulders and so on and builds things up like hills or cuts things out like lakes. Likewise as it melts and retracts it dumps things that it picked up as it was growing and got frozen in the ice.
Glaciers may seem like an unimportant, uninteresting topic, but it has made significant changes to the landscape in nearly every area of the world. Even what are today very warm areas, glaciers could have existed millions of years ago. Results of glaciers include "U" shaped valleys with the edges scratched/polished by the things the glaciers carries. Glaciers also have incredible moving strength. Boulders have been known to be moved hundreds of miles from their original position.

You need the Power Bracelet for the stones that look like normal rocks, and the Pegasus Boots for the ones that look like black and green crystal formations.
