How do valley glaciers form?
A U-shaped valley begins as a V-shaped river valley. If the temperature is low enough, a glacier (river of ice) forms inside the valley. As the glacier slowly moves, it scours the valley floor when the temperature rises and the glaciers melts away, a U-shaped valley is left behind.

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).
