When glaciers melt, ocean levels rise and cause continent land mass to decrease. This could also cause volcanoes under glaciers to be exposed and possibly erupt.

Is there any evidence that global warming is responsible for melting the worlds glaciers?
It's logical. If the earth is warming, and scientists (and our own experiences) tell us that it is, then one of the effects of a warming atmosphere is that it warms things in the atmosphere. Glaciers are exposed to the air, the air is warmer, and so the glaciers melt. Therefore, global warming is responsible for melting the world's glaciers.
How would glaciers be affected by changes in climate such as global warming and global cooling?
In global warming, the glaciers would melt, then they would flow into the ocean, then they could affect ocean currents, changing the climate, in some areas. And with global cooling, there would be more glaciers, depleting the ocean waters.
What are two ways in which glaciers erode Earth's surface?
When glaciers form they scrape earth's surface as they advance. Also when glaciers melt it deposits the sediment it eroded from the land creating various land forms.

Can glaciers freeze in the winter and melt completely every summer?
I think that glaciers don't melt in the summer because glaciers form where it's cold like year long so it would be cold in the summer too. In cold weather ice doesn't melt.
