Erosional landforms occur where ice developed and moved from, while depositional landforms are found where ice flows to.

Erosion....
Erosion is a process of geological denudation, which involves the breakdown and transport of rock materials. Two other kinds of denudation often work ahead of erosion: weathering, the fragmenting of rock by physical, chemical and biological means; and mass wasting, wherein gravity begins pulling the rubble of weathering from its source. Erosion moves this material more substantially, often across long distances, via agents such as running water, glaciers and wind.
Deposition.....
Deposition is the “yin” to erosion’s “yang.” At some point, an agent of erosion drops part or all of its load of rocks and sediments. Such depositions occur, for example, when a river loses some of its carrying power, as when its gradient or discharge diminishes. Glacial deposits might mark the site where the great ice body began retreating or where winds carried and distributed glacial sediment well away from the snout of the glacier
