How did glaciers help form the earth's crust?
glaciers didnt help in formation of earth crust! if you mean how DO they then i would say that they create valleys or craters with their weight and deposit fresh sediments while frozen and also when they melt.

When sediments fall out a glaciers they create a deposit called?
There are actually two (2) types of deposits created - Glacial Tills or Fluvials/Outwashes.Tills are basically formed when the receding ice drops what it picked up in piles of debris fields. These can be located at the receding end of the glacier, but can also be formed underneath the glacier as it moves downhill.Fluvials are basically formed when the deposited debris is moved away from the receding glacier by water or wind to a different location sometimes far away from the glacier.The rock content of the Glacial Tills and Fluvials can be left as anything from whole, big boulders or a pile of flour. Rock flour, that is.Rock flour, also known as Glacier Meal, is the pulverized remains of all those boulders that the glacier grinds down into a fine powder as it heads "downstream." This powder can be extremely fine, down to .0006mm (that's almost seven times smaller than a human hair).As the water from the melting ice and snow gathers into a stream, it often carries with it the rock flour turning the water a milky-white haze that's known as Glacier Milk. The glacial milk is swept away from the glacier until the flowing water slows enough for the fine, powdery rock flour to settle to the bottom of a pool, lake or even the ocean forming a fluvial.
What can erosion and weathering create?
Sediments. Weathering and Erosion can break down Sedimentary rocks, Igneous rocks and Metamorphic rocks all into Sediments. Hopefully this helped you.
