Do glaciers stay in one piece?

Glaciers do not typically stay in one piece; they are dynamic systems that constantly move and change. Driven by gravity, glaciers flow and can break apart, calve, or melt due to temperature changes and environmental conditions. As they advance or retreat, they can also experience crevasses and icefalls, leading to fragmentation. Thus, while glaciers can appear stable, they are continually undergoing transformation.
