<span>The glacier carries along with ice, rocks that create the grooves and scratches.
As a simple example, paper is relatively soft, yet sandpaper is quite capable of sanding substances with a mohs scale hardness of 9 or lower. Reason is quite simple. The sandpaper has embedded on its surface, silicon carbide which has a hardness of 9 to 9.5. And glaciers can carry boulders and rocks along their bottom surface which in turn can grind and scrape softer materials.</span>
Glaciers are bodies of dense ice
that moves constantly due to its hefty weight. Glaciers are known to cause glacial
striations, characteristic scratches to the underlying rock. Glaciers tend to
have rocks or boulders embedded on them, causing glacial striations. Glacial
striations have important role in determining movement of the glacier and thus
often studied.
Maritime tropical air masses that influence the weather of the western coastal areas of the America starts in the Caribbean Sea, then to the southern Gulf of Mexico, and the tropical Atlantic east of the Florida and the Bahamas.
Maritime tropical air masses are moist and unstable. While the continental dry air mass consisting of the hot and arid climates of the southwest, thus their interaction creates occasional thunderstorms.
