Striations are "scratches" left in bedrock by glaciers. A small particle of rock, generally pebble sized or smaller, becomes entrained in the base of the glacier and dragged along the surface of the bedrock. These can often be seen on hard bedrock surfaces that are resistant to subsequent weathering after the retreat of the glacier. Erratics are large rocks that are found out of place in the landscape, i.e. not near where they were formed. They are removed from their provenance by a glacier and transported away, before being deposited in a different part or the landscape when the glacier melts.
A glacier forms in a place where snow builds up for years. The main thing is that it has to be in a place where the snow does not melt in the summer. After so long, the weight of the snow compresses and becomes as, and as long as more snow falls on top of that glacier, that is what happens..... ^.^ I hope this answer helped!
The geography of the Anchroage area won't support a Piedmont glacier. This glacier (the Piedmont glacier) is characterized by large stagnant ice sheets where a glacier or glaciers "doesn't/don't have anywhere to go" for lack of an outlet. All the areas around Anchroage, Alaska slope down to the sea. There is no place for the ice of a Piedmont glacier to "build up" for lack of a way to "break out" or to "get stopped" to form this glacier.
Glacial erratics aren't exactly formed. They were deposited by glaciers that were moving in that area at one time. improved= Glacial erratics are exactly formed. Because a glacier is so heavy, the glacier can pluck large rocks as the glacier moves. When the rock is too heavy for the glacier to hold, or the glacier is retreating, it then deposits the rock in a place where it wouldn't usually be found. This is what an erratic is. A large piece of rock in an unusual surrounding. i hope this helps :)
Residual soil remains on top of its parent rock while transported is moved from its place of origin.
A glacier is a place you can visit, a thing that shapes the landscape.

by magic!!
"Glacier National Park" is a place - it doesn't stand for anything.

A glacier is something that forms when snow falls in a place where it never has the time to melt. Eventually it builds up thick enough to turn into a thick slab of ice, and that's a glacier. Cut a piece of it, and that's glacier ice.

Glacier National Park is a fun place to visit in Montana.
They are generally transported by land, rail or air
