Stones shaped by glaciers are often not smooth due to the grinding and scraping action of the ice as it moves over the landscape. This process, known as glacial abrasion, can create jagged edges and irregular surfaces on the rocks. Additionally, the stones can be mixed with other debris and sediment, which further contributes to their rough texture. As a result, glacially transported stones often exhibit a rugged appearance rather than a polished finish.

Glaciers form smooth hills by eroding and shaping the landscape as they move down a slope. The weight of the ice and the movement of the glacier over time smooth out the terrain beneath it, resulting in the formation of long smooth hills called drumlins.
