Who know the future will be if All Glaciers on our earth melt ? It can be a Disaster.

What force moves a glacier downhill?
Glaciers can slide down slope for several reasons. First, a glacier is made of ice, which is frozen water. Liquid water is slippery. That is important to remember. Second, gravity is pulling on them making them want to move downhill. Third, when ice is put under a lot of pressure, it can melt. The pressure above the bottom of the glacier can cause some melting on the bottom layer. That can make the glacier slide. Fourth, the sun shining on the top of the glacier can make the top of the glacier melt. The water from that melting can go to the bottom of the glacier and help lubricate the bottom. That can help it slide. Mountain glaciers are always sliding downhill. Snow replenishes glaciers and adds ice to the top. If glaciers melt faster than they are replenished they vanish. Some mountain glaciers have vanished within the last 100 years. A few more are likely to vanish in the next decade.
How did the glaciers help form the geography in the Midwest?
Glaciers shaped the geography of the Midwest by carving out the Great Lakes, depositing glacial debris that formed the fertile soils of the region, and creating other landforms like moraines, drumlins, and kettles. The retreat of glaciers also left behind numerous lakes and rivers that support the agricultural and transportation networks in the region.
