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.
water and rocks salts
They can. because, glaciers pick up sediment as they go along slowly.

Glaciers can carve out valleys and create u-shaped valleys through the process of glacial erosion. As glaciers move, they transport large amounts of sediment and rocks that accumulate at their edges, forming moraines. When glaciers retreat, they leave behind depressions that can fill with water, creating lakes.
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
The glacier can carry rocks. The moving of the glacier.

Glaciers can pick up and drop boulders Glaciers dig furrows in the ground where they have passed Glaciers are able to move mountains out of their way
No. Rocks need to reach very high temperatures in order to melt. Glaciers, being made of ice, are cold. Glaciers do, however, grind rocks down into smaller pieces quite easily.
