This describes glacial erosion where rocks are frozen into the base of a glacier and then deposited as the glacier melts, leaving behind a trail of rocks.
Moraines are formed by the accumulation of unconsolidated rock debris, such as sand, gravel, and boulders, that have been transported and deposited by glaciers. The debris is carried along by the moving glacier and then left behind as the glacier retreats or melts, creating ridges or mounds of sediment.
When a sedimentary rock melts, it can form an igneous rock through the process of melting, cooling, and solidifying.
hot liquid that forms when rock melts is MAGMA
When a glacier melts, the rocks it carried may fall to the ground in a jumble called a moraine. This accumulation of rock, debris, and soil can form a moraine deposit at the edge or base of a glacier.
It turns into a metamorphic rock.
