Glaciers are forces of erosion of the land they tend to do the opposite of build it up, they wear it down.
However they do deposit moraines and when they melt the land springs up a little.

glaciers ::)
What weathering material leaves ridges of broken rock and soil?
Glaciers pick up rocks and soil as they move across land. When the glaciers melt, they deposit the rocks and soil. Today there are ridges of rocks and soil where glaciers once were.

How are glaciers involved in land formations?
Glaciers can carve out valleys and create u-shaped valleys through the process of glacial erosion. As glaciers move, they transport large amounts of sediment and rocks that accumulate at their edges, forming moraines. When glaciers retreat, they leave behind depressions that can fill with water, creating lakes.
How do glaciers both remove and build up Earth's surface?
1. it gouges out large expanses of land (for example, the formation of the great lakes) 2. it pushes all that land and boulders into mountains/hills

How was the landscape in Norway created?
Glaciers moved across the land, and made large cuts. These glaciers than melted and got filled up with water making them fjords.
How were mountains build?
