Ricky created a model of a glacier to help explain how glaciers change the surface of Earth. He froze two large blocks of ice. One block was pure water. The other was water mixed with sand and rocks. He took both blocks and rubbed them across a sheet of tinfoil. The block of pure water slid smoothly over the tinfoil. The block with sand and rocks ripped the tinfoil in many places. How does Ricky's model explain how glaciers change Earth's surface?

• The rocks and sand contained in most glaciers create grooves in Earth's surface.

• The rocks and sand contained in some glaciers fill the grooves in Earth's surface.

• Pure glaciers and glaciers that contain rocks and sand affect the Earth in exactly the same way.

• The water in pure glaciers cools Earth's surface.
