They very rarely do ANY "damage"!
The only instances I can think of are events called Jokhulhaups (Spelling? - any Icelanders here?) - an Icelandic word for the sudden and catastrophic thawing of a glacier or ice-sheet by a volcanic eruption under it.
The resulting flood will rip up roads and bridges etc - so no-one in Iceland builds anything more than those where it may happen.
There have been smaller-scale but much more humanly-destructive, slightly similar events where eruptions have melted summit snow on volcanoes, creating violent mud-rivers that overwhelm anything in their path.
And of course, people who venture onto glaciers have been known to fall into crevasses.
But on the whole, glaciers do not "damage" anything. They are an integral but temporary part of their landscape which they are shaping!
What else can I help you with?
What glaciers create cirques on sides of mountains?
Glaciers that create cirques on the sides of mountains are called cirque glaciers. These glaciers form in bowl-shaped depressions on the slopes of mountains and are responsible for eroding and shaping the characteristic amphitheater-like features known as cirques. Examples of cirque glaciers can be found in mountain ranges around the world, such as the Alps, Andes, and Himalayas.
Can you show some examples of earth's surface?
Examples of Earth's surface include continents, oceans, mountains, valleys, glaciers, deserts, forests, and rivers.
Where are glaciers found in canada?
Glaciers in Canada are primarily found in the northern territories of Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut, as well as in the western province of British Columbia. Some glaciers can also be found in the eastern province of Newfoundland and Labrador. These glaciers play a significant role in shaping Canada's landscapes.
What are the different types of glaciers?
Ice Sheets Ice Shelves Ice Caps Ice Streams/Outlet Glaciers Icefields Mountain Glaciers Valley Glaciers Piedmont Glaciers Cirque Glaciers Hanging Glaciers Tidewater Glaciers
Where can you find glaciers?
Glaciers can be found in polar regions like Antarctica and Greenland, as well as in high-altitude mountainous areas around the world. Some examples include the glaciers in the Alps, Himalayas, Andes, and Rocky Mountains.
What are examples of solid water?
Examples of solid water include ice cubes, glaciers, and icebergs.
What type of glaciers are sharp pyramid shaped and peaks formed by alpine glaciers?
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.
What are four types of fresh water enviornments?
Examples: rivers, lakes, glaciers, groundwaters.
Where are glaciers found in?
Glaciers can be found in many different parts of Canada. For a few examples, some can be found in the mountains in British Columbia and also on the islands of the Arctic Archipelago.

What are some real life examples of melting?
like glaciers,ice cream,ice and much more.
What clues would you look for to determaine if you were in an area that was oncee covered by glaciers?
Many topographical features may be the result of glaciers. Lakes, sharp ridges on mountains, and glacial striations are some examples of these.
What are two examples of somatic radiation damage?
Examples of somatic radiation damage include skin burns and cataracts caused by exposure to ionizing radiation.
What are some examples of causes of primary succession?
Glaciers that will lead a bare surface or a volcano eruption that results in a barren land
