Explain how an alpine glacier can change the topography of a mountainous area

An alpine glacier can change the topography of a mountainous area through Glacial Erosion and Glacial Deposition. Glaciers are agents of erosion, it can pick up and carry large rocks and sediments. In the process, a deep cavity or hole can form when the glacier plucks a big rock from where it passed. Glaciers have shaped many Mountain Ranges and have created distinct landforms by its erosion process. In Glacial Deposition, as glaciers melt, it deposits all that it carried and a landform is developed.
