The glacier deposits water as it recedes because when a glacier melts it makes more water. See a glacier is made up of frozen water so when it melts it creates more water.
What is a winding ridge left by melting glacier?
You may be referring to an "esker," a snake-like deposit of sediment left by a stream of running water underneath a glacier. At the edge of a glacier, a "moraine" also can form. A moraine is a pile of sediment and debris pushed by the glacier that forms alongside the glacier - a lateral moraine - or at the end of a glacier's run - a terminal moraine.
Where are glacier caves found?
Most glacier caves are found where there are seasons and in winter is super cold like where you would find a glacier. In the warmer season the ice shield may start to melt causing the water that has already melted, flow. Which would cause somthing called a gorge form. Afterthe water stops flowing a Glacier Cave has formed!
