How can a piece of rock get stuck into the bottom of a glacier?
A piece of rock can become embedded in the bottom of a glacier through a process called glacial entrainment. As a glacier moves, it erodes the underlying bedrock and picks up sediment, including rocks and debris. This material can become trapped in the ice at the glacier's base, where it is held in place by the pressure of the overlying ice. Over time, as the glacier advances, the rock becomes firmly lodged within the ice.
