Does abraition gouge and scratch bedrock through the process of abrasion?

Yes, abrasion involves the wearing away of bedrock through the mechanical action of particles, such as sand or gravel, being carried by water, wind, or ice. As these particles move, they can gouge and scratch the surface of the bedrock, resulting in smooth or polished surfaces over time. This process is a key factor in landscape shaping and erosion in various environments.
