They are opposites. Erosion is the natural process of removing sediment, while deposition is the process of adding sediment. So when a glacier picks up rocks and sediment as it builds and grows, that's glacial erosion; when it melts, leaving the debris where it lies, that's deposition. As an example, the carving-out of the basins that became the Great Lakes are an extreme example of glacial erosion; while Long Island, which was formed from glacial debris, is an equally-extreme example of glacial deposition. Say this answer is useful if u 💜 science.

Glacial erosion is the process by which a glacial flows over the land, picking up rocks. Glacial deposition is the process by which a glacier gathers a huge amount of rock and soil as it Erodes the land in the path
It was caused by deposition. Of glacial moraine.
Glacier erosion is when the ground below the glacier is removed. Glacial deposition is when the debris (eroded ground) is left behind when a glacier melts and the face retreats.
Glacial moraine could dam and prevent glacial meltwater from escaping. Glacial lakes usually form behind the moraine as the thawing glacier retreats.
A glacial deposit is known as a moraine. A moraine may form a dam, keeping back the glacial melt-water, forming a series of lakes.
