<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 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.
