Glaciers are an important part of the rock life cycle. The part they play is to break huge rock faces into smaller pieces, as well as to move rocks from one place to another, while grinding them into pebbles and sand.

Are the forces that drive the rock cycle beneath earths surface the same as the forces that drive the rock cycle on or near earths surface?

The forces that drive the rock cycle beneath Earth's surface, such as heat and pressure from the Earth's interior, are different from those on or near Earth's surface, which are mainly driven by weathering, erosion, and deposition processes. Both sets of forces ultimately contribute to the transformation of rocks through the rock cycle.
