glacial deposition and glacial erosion
Glaciers erode the land through plucking, where they pick up and remove rock fragments as they move, and abrasion, where they scrape and grind the underlying bedrock as they advance. These processes help to shape landforms such as valleys, cirques, and moraines.
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.
Running water can erode the land by carrying sediment and wearing down rocks through abrasion. Groundwater can dissolve minerals in rocks, weakening the material and causing erosion. Waves can erode coastlines by breaking down rocks and carrying away sediment. Glaciers can erode the land by plucking and abrasion as they move, and deposit sediments when they melt.
Sharp pyramid-shaped peaks formed by alpine glaciers are called horn glaciers. Horn glaciers are created when three or more cirque glaciers erode a mountain from different sides, leaving behind a sharp-edged peak. Famous examples include the Matterhorn in the Alps.
Three agents of erosion are wind, water, and ice. Wind can erode rocks and soil by carrying particles away. Water, such as rivers and oceans, can erode surfaces through processes like abrasion and dissolution. Ice, in the form of glaciers, can erode land by grinding and plucking rocks as it moves.
Plucking and Abrasion.
abrasion and plucking.

Yes
It is formed when two glaciers erode parallel from each other or when two glaciers erode towards each other
Yes ... usually from heat.

These are glaciers.
