What forces drive glacier movement and bedrock scratching?
š” The Answer
- Glacier movement is caused by force, friction, vibration, or internal deformation of ice.
- Sliding over rocks and sediments at the base contributes to movement.
- This leads to continuous scratching of bedrock.
- These forces combine to abrade the underlying rock surface.
