How does a glacier affect the Earth's surface?
Basically it's a river just like any other so what it does is erode a channel through the mountains. Thing is, instead of making a "V" shaped valley like a liquid river would, a glacier makes a "U" shaped valley. When the glacier retreats, the steep slopes collapse pretty readily so you get landslides everywhere. Alternatively, if the sea rises, the valley forms a fiord (ala Milford Sound in New Zealand).

When new snow is added to a glacier faster than ice and snow melt does the glacier get larger or smaller?
When new snow is added to a glacier faster than the rate at which ice and snow melt, the glacier gets larger because the accumulation of new snow exceeds the loss from melting. This process contributes to glacier growth and expansion.
