Abrasion, when the ice and the load of rock fragments slide over the 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.
