The direction of movement of a glacier is best indicated by the?
alignment of grooves in bedrock
What is the gouging of bedrock by rock fragments dragged by glaciers results?
The gouging of bedrock by rock fragments dragged by glaciers results in the formation of grooves, scratches, and striations on the surface of the bedrock. These features, known as glacial striations, provide evidence of the direction and movement of past glaciers. These marks can also help geologists determine the extent and timing of glacial activity in an area.
Marked with parallel scratches or grooves?
i believe that you are talking about glacial striations
What are the grooves and scratches left in a rock by a glacier called?
Crevasses
What paleo climatic evidence for polar wandering?
Layers of glacial deposits are found at same place in sequence of rocksNote directions of glacial ice movement as indicated by striations or grooves in the rock
What is glacial grooves?
The glacier abrades the bedrock and the material is carried by ice. The groove is scoured in the bedrock by the boulders carried at the bottom of the ice. Grooves have various sizes.

What caused the glacial grooves?
Glacial grooves are caused by the ice picking up boulders and scraping them across the bedrock.
What are glacier grooves?
Striae.
What is the movement of glacier?
Slowly and downward, since it is being pulled by gravity. You can tell the direction of its movement by the alignment of grooves in bedrock.
What causes the grooves in Kelley's Island?
I assume you mean GROOVES - the Glacial Grooves were formed by the receeding glaciers.
How do glacial grooves form?
Glacial grooves forms when rocks set over time with water running over them. These rocks can form in different looks.
What erosional agent produces grooves and scratches?
A glacier produces grooves and scratches.
What ecoregion in Texas would have glacial grooves?
high plains
Landforms created by ice?
Glacier Grooves and Moraines
What is the meaning of glacial grooves?
Furrows of glacial origin in bedrock that are deeper and wider than striations- Double S
