In fact, the glacier passes way over the bedrock and completely surrounds a small bead on the surface and frictional force holding particle into the bedrock and pulls it from the rock. However, Regulation on the other hand only takes away tiny sediments of rock, when material carried by the glacier is incorporated into the bedrock, if there is differential movement within the lower portions of the ice and then sediments are forced to aping and are torn from the bedrock.
