TRAPPED ROCK in glacier is DRAGGED along the bottom of VALLEY, which acts like SAND-PAPER.

Geothermal Power Plant Diagram
Hot water from rock is pumped up to surface where it’s converted to steam. This powers a turbine which powers a generator. The steam/water is pumped to a cooling station where it is cooled before being but back into the rock via an injection well.
