Wind abrades rock by sandblasting, this is the process in which wind causes the blowing of millions of grains of sand, which bumps across the surface of rocks' surface. it can also happen due to deflation, which is when wind removes the top layer of fine sediment/soil to cause desert pavement (a cheaper way to form pavement☺).
Glaciers, however, abrade rock by simply using Gravity. when enough ice builds up on a slope, the ice begins to move downhill. The steeper the slope, the faster the glacier. As glaciers move fowad, the material that they picked up scratch and abrade the rock and soil underneath the glacier, which causes erosion.

Both wind and glaciers abrade rock through a process known as mechanical weathering, but they do so in different ways. Wind erosion primarily involves the transport of small particles, which can sandblast surfaces, gradually wearing them down over time. In contrast, glaciers exert immense pressure and carry larger rock fragments that grind against the bedrock as they move, creating a more intense and profound scouring effect. While wind erosion typically affects arid environments, glacial abrasion is more common in colder regions where ice is prevalent.
These are glaciers.
something.
The rock material deposited by glaciers is called "glacial till." This sediment consists of a mixture of clay, silt, sand, gravel, and boulders that glaciers grind and transport as they move. When glaciers melt, they leave behind this unsorted debris, which can form various landforms such as moraines and drumlins.
Wind and glaciers abrade rock with their brute force.

Factors such as the speed of the water, the size and shape of the rocks, the amount of sediment in the water, and the duration of exposure to water all affect the rate at which rocks abrade in running water. Typically, faster-moving water and a higher concentration of sediment will cause rocks to abrade more quickly.

No. Glaciers are slowly moving masses of ice.
Glaciers slowly deform and flow due to stresses induced by their weight, creating crevasses, seracs, and other distinguishing features.They also abrade rock and debris from their substrate to create landforms such as cirques and moraines.If you can picture yourself standing at the base of one of these that covered North America and look upward: they are a mile high. The weight would be about 1.4 trillion tons.
The hardness of a rock affects the rate at which it abrades other rocks. A harder rock will generally abrade softer rocks more quickly due to its ability to maintain its sharp edges and resistance to wearing down quickly. Conversely, a softer rock will abrade more slowly due to its tendency to wear down and lose its sharp edges more easily.
These are glaciers.
Glaciers and rivers transport eroded rock material (sediment), that can form new sedimentary rock after deposition.
Glaciers often push earth and rock from beneath themselves as they move forward. Many natural lakes were formed by glaciers carving the earth as they passed.
