To start off, melting glaciers are not a kind of storm. Glaciers are made of ice, which melts at warm temperatures. A warmer climate means that there is more summer melting of glacial ice and more time of the year spent melting ice rather than accumulating it.
Hurricanes and typhoons, which are essentially the same thing, are fueled from warm, moist air that gets its moisture from warm ocean water. Warmer temperatures would lead to warmer oceans and thus more warm, moist air to fuel hurricanes and typhoons. So far there has been no substantial evidence of such an increase, perhaps because of other factors that influence these storms. Some climate models, for instance, predict that global warming will increase wind shear over the Atlantic, leading to fewer hurricanes.
The case for tornadoes is similar. Tornadoes are spawned by severe thunderstorms, which are fueled by warm, moist air. A warmer climate might provide more energy for such storms, but again, temperature is not the only factor. In fact, the number of significant tornadoes striking the United States has actually decreased since the middle of the twentieth century.

The statement that is accurate is that glaciers can carry both small particles and large boulders. Glaciers can carry both small particles and large boulders.
During the ice ages, icy glaciers covered much of the continents.
There are 2 main types of glaciers, Continental is one, they float away from central regions. The second is alpine or valley which are the glaciers that flow down the valley from the mountain.
Continental glaciers are thicker and larger. Valley glaciers are formed on mountains; continental glaciers are formed on flat land.
yes they do and so do glaciers, hurricanes, tornadoes and many other things
no they are not
ice
As the glaciers retreated, they left rocks and boulders behind.
It melts the glaciers making the sea levels rise

Loess is not left in the land.

No. Hurricanes can cause storm surges, especially if combined with high tides, which can overwhelm levees and flood coastal areas temporarily. They do not raise global sea levels. The melting of ice caps and glaciers and the expansion of the warming oceans will raise sea levels.
