Glaciers pick up rocks and soil as they move across land. When the glaciers melt, they deposit the rocks and soil. Today there are ridges of rocks and soil where glaciers once were.
When glaciers pick up loose rocks, the rocks will act as an abrasion, scoring and abrading the land beneath as the glacier slowly moved on. You can see the scratch marks on bedrock exposed on the surface in some places.Also, boulders left isolated and strange to the area as the glacier melted and retreated are known as Glacial erratics.
ANSWER:A glacier is nothing more than a frozen river still moving. It might only move an inch or two per year, but it still moves and this ice will erode the ground and rock below it faster and more agressively than if it was just water. Its because glaciers also pick up and move the rocks that they run over and this gravel (chunks of rocks) can carve mountains down and cut valleys miles deep.

As a glacier moves outward or downward, it can transport and move various objects. These can include rocks, boulders, sediments, soil, and even smaller glaciers or icebergs. The immense weight and pressure exerted by the glacier allows it to pick up and carry these objects along with it as it advances.
They can. because, glaciers pick up sediment as they go along slowly.

It could be two things, either plucking, a form of glacial erosion where weak rock is moved or erratics, which is a form of glacial deposition in which rocks, even car size, are transported by glacial ice into a region with different bedrock.

When they slide or move across the land they pick up rocks and soil which changes the Ground beneath it.By glacial erosion which is when slowly over time large U shaped valleys are carved out; or by 'plucking' which is when rocks or boulders are literally plucked up from the surface and carried down the valley.Rocks frozen underneath glaciers carve the land when glaciers move

Plucking is the word used to describe moving glaciers that pick up debris and move it along to other locations. Glaciers form over several years.
