The name of a glacier that has frozen to bedrock is rock glacier. A rock glacier is formed by angular blocks of frozen rock that form in the valley of glaciers.
The process in which rock fragments freeze to the bottom of a glacier and are then carried away when the glacier moves is called plucking. After the last ice age, stranded ice blocks left behind by the continental glacier melted and formed kettles.
As the ice blocks left behind by the continental glacier melted after the last ice age, they formed bodies of water known as kettle lakes. These kettle lakes are depressions in the landscape caused by the melting of the ice blocks, which were then filled with water from the melted ice.

Holes that form by huge blocks of glacier and that have been burrowed into the ground are called kettles. There are many types of holes.

The material formed is called till. The structure formed is called a moraine.
It forms when huge blocks of ice remain, half buried in sand and gravel, A bowl shaped deppression that was formed by a block of ice and a glacier and then becomes filled with water.

When the glacier is formed the ice scratches the land. When the glacier recedes the ice will scar the earth. This is called glacial scarring.
