1. It is the process by which moving ice exerts pressure on majority portion of rocks on bed or along the bank.
2. The pressure on the rock causes uprooting of rock portion that is exposed to the flow. This uprooting of particles is called plucking.
3. The eroded bedrock will have a rugged surface.
4. Plucking at the base of a glacier lead to formation of Roche moutonnees.
