They would be scoured and eroded, eventually get deposited at the base of the glacier when it recedes as terminal moraine

Do glaciers melt rocks?

No. Rocks need to reach very high temperatures in order to melt. Glaciers, being made of ice, are cold. Glaciers do, however, grind rocks down into smaller pieces quite easily.


What carries the largest rocks glaciers or rivers?

What weathering material leaves ridges of broken rock and soil?

Glaciers pick up rocks and soil as they move across land. When the glaciers melt, they deposit the rocks and soil. Today there are ridges of rocks and soil where glaciers once were.


What happens when glaciers move?

When glaciers move, they erode the land beneath them by scraping and plucking rocks and sediments. This process can create valleys, fjords, and other landforms. Additionally, as glaciers melt and retreat, they deposit the sediments and rocks they have carried with them, shaping the landscape further.

Do glaciers have the smallest rocks in them?

Huge sheets of ice that move slowly over land while picking up and carrying rocks and soil with them are?

These are glaciers. Glaciers are large bodies of ice that flow slowly over land, eroding the landscape and carrying rocks and soil with them as they move.


How do glaciers contribute to the process of erosion?

Glaciers contribute to erosion by plucking and abrasion. Plucking occurs when glaciers pick up rocks and materials as they move, while abrasion happens when these materials scrape and carve the underlying rock, gradually wearing it down. As glaciers flow, they also erode the landscape by bulldozing and pushing material along their path.


How do rocks attach to the bottom of Glaciers?

By scraping against them.
