It's glacial deposition not glacier deposition.
Glacial deposition:
An advancing ice sheet carries an abundance of rock that was plucked from the underlying bedrock; only a small amount is carried on the surface from mass wasting. The rock/sediment load of alpine glaciers, on the other hand, comes mostly from rocks that have fallen onto the glacier from the valley walls. The various unsorted rock debris and sediment that is carried or later deposited by a glacier is called till. Till particles typically range from clay-sized to boulder-sized but can sometimes weigh up to thousands of tons. Boulders that have been carried a considerable distance and then deposited by a glacier are called erratics.Erratics can be a key to determining the direction of movement if the original source of the boulder can be located.

What type of glaciers are there and how do they erode the land?
glacial deposition and glacial erosion
What are force of nature that reshape the land by deposition?
Wind, moving waters, and glaciers.
What are the five main types of deposition?
waves glaciers gravity mass wind
What are three forces of nature that reshape the land by deposition?
Wind, moving waters, and glaciers.
What are the five major forces involved in erosion and deposition?
water, wind, glaciers,gravity
Would landscape is most likely formed by the process of deposition from glaciers?
Mountain peaks :)
Are horns caused by deposition?
yes. horns are caused by deposition, and not by erosion. two or more glaciers surround land pushing it up into a sharp point.
Are kettles formed by deposition?
Yes they are formed by deposition if you haven't noticed glaciers attend to pick up sediments when they are moving from their old location That was the explenation
