What are long scratches made on rocks by a glacier called?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Glacial striations
Glacial striations are long, usually parallel scratches or grooves cut into bedrock when stones frozen into the underside of a moving glacier drag across it. The scratches record the direction of ice movement. Therefore, option A is correct. A delta and a lagoon are depositional water-related features, while loess is wind-blown dust, so none of them describes scratched bedrock.
