True. Glaciers actually weather the rock through plucking. Once plucked, the plucked particle is eroded.
When the mountains got eroded, sediments broke off, and rolled down the mountain into the lowlands, that were oceans at the time, and the pressure from all the rocks fused them together, making it a sheet of sedimentary rock.

Glaciers.
the erosion of the shield regions created the rest of each continent. rivers and glaciers carried eroded material, called sediment, intoancient seas. there, it accumulated into thickbeds that slowly solidified intosedimentry rock.
No, it is they that are eroded by such things as rain, rivers and glaciers.

When glaciers form they scrape earth's surface as they advance. Also when glaciers melt it deposits the sediment it eroded from the land creating various land forms.
Glaciers and rivers transport eroded rock material (sediment), that can form new sedimentary rock after deposition.
Glaciers have helped form Long Island in the sense that millions of years ago, the glaciers eroded the block of land that is now known as Long Island.
Glaciers and rivers carry eroded rock material to a place of deposition where the sediments can lithify into sedimentary rock.

Glaciers eroded valleys, and when the ice melted, the valleys were flooded, and became fjords.
