  • Glacial Abrasion: Understanding Erosion by Embedded Bedrock
    The glacial scouring by bedrock embedded in ice is erosion by abrasion.

    Here's why:

    * Abrasion is the process of erosion where rock fragments carried by a glacier scrape against the bedrock, wearing it down. The embedded bedrock acts like sandpaper, grinding and smoothing the underlying rock surface.
