Some volcanoes are very tall mountains, reaching altitudes where temperatures rarely climb above freezing. Snow that falls on these mountains does not melt but instead piles up, eventually forming glaciers.

What 5 things do volcanoes and glaciers have in common?

Volcanoes and glaciers both shape the Earth's landscape through processes of erosion and deposition. They can create natural features such as mountains and valleys, influencing local ecosystems. Both are also significant in terms of climate impact, with volcanic eruptions releasing ash and gases that can affect weather patterns, while glaciers store freshwater and regulate sea levels. Additionally, both volcanoes and glaciers are dynamic systems that can change over time due to environmental factors.
