When a glacier moves downhill it erodes everything in its path through abrasion and plucking. Glaciers usually follow the easiest route down a mountain, which is often an old river valley. Over time rivers slow in their erosion of the geography around them but are never quite done changing the landscape completely. Young rivers erode the rock and soil quickly in order to achieve equilibrium between the altitude of their headwaters and their final expulsion at sea level.
