Glaciers might have helped move big rocks from Scotland to England thousands of years ago, just like a giant snow truck would help move rocks today.
Glaciers are like really big ice slabs that slowly slide across the land. When they move, they can carry rocks with them, kind of like how your snow shovel carries dirt when you dig in the snow.
How Glaciers Move Rocks
Imagine a glacier as a giant icy conveyor belt. As it moves, it picks up rocks from one place and drops them somewhere else. This is called transportation, just like when you carry your lunch to school, you're transporting food!
Long ago, glaciers in Scotland might have picked up some big rocks, then slowly moved them all the way to England. These rocks are now part of a famous place called Stonehenge.
So even though it took thousands of years, glaciers helped move those big stones from one place to another, just like how you can move your toys from one room to another with a little help!
