Sand paper is essentially a sheet of strong paper with grains of hard material glued to it. This rough hard layer of material makes sand paper "abrasive". This means that it is able to wear down or away another material by being rubbed against it. This process is known as abrasion.

The base of a glacier typically carries lots of sediment varying in size from clay particles, all the way up to boulders. These act like the grains of material attached to the paper in sand paper. As the glacier moves they rub or scrape against the underlying soil and bedrock, wearing it away in a similar manner (but on a much larger scale) to the way sand paper can be used
