Does a glacier deposit sediment when it freezes?

What happens to rocks that get caught in alpine glaciers?
They would be scoured and eroded, eventually get deposited at the base of the glacier when it recedes as terminal moraine
What is a ridge like deposit of sediment at the edge of a glacier called?
A ridge-like deposit of sediment at the edge of a glacier is called a "moraine." Moraines are formed from the accumulation of debris and sediment that has been pushed along by the glacier's movement. They can be classified into different types, such as terminal moraines, which mark the furthest advance of the glacier, and lateral moraines, which form along the sides of the glacier.
When does primary succession occur?
After a glacier recedes, a volcano erupts, or a strip mine is abandoned.
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.
What is retreatism?
When a glacier recedes for various reasons.
What does a glacier do to the surface of the earth as it recedes?
the glacier deposits various rocks and sediment it displaced as it moved forward

Which formation is a small hill-like mound formed from the deposits as the glacier recedes?
A small hill-like mound formed from the deposits as a glacier recedes is called a moraine. Moraines are composed of till, which is a mix of rock, sediment, and debris that the glacier carries and deposits as it moves and melts.
What formation is a small hill-like mound formed from the deposits as the glacier recedes?
drumlin
What is a glacier deposited?
Moraine or till, is a glacier deposit.
How do melting glaciers shape land?
When the glacier is formed the ice scratches the land. When the glacier recedes the ice will scar the earth. This is called glacial scarring.

When does glacier deposit the sediment itis carrying?
When it melts.

Action of rock being placed somewhere else?
An erratic boulder is a rock that has been moved and left in position as the glacier recedes.
Is a glacier deposit the sediment it is carrying?
When a glacier melts it deposits the sediment it eroded from the land, creating various landforms.
