- Glacier in a low land area comes across a resistant rock
- As the glacier passes over the resultant rock it erodes its upstream side by abrasion
smoothening it
- The downstream side is eroded by abrasion giving it a rugged nature
- When the ice retreats a rock outcrop with a gentle smooth upstream side and a rugged
steep downstream side is exposed called a roche moutonee
