What forces drive glacier movement and bedrock scratching?

đź’ˇ 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.
