The way in which glaciers fit into the hydrologic cycle is by being able to hold a lot of frozen water. They also relate to the rock cycle in that they cause major erosion.

Where is the main source of water in the water cycle?
All water on Earth and in Earth's atmosphere is included in the water cycle.
What are the 4 reservoirs of water in the water cycle?
The four main reservoirs of water in the water cycle are the oceans, atmosphere, land, and glaciers. Water evaporates from the surface of the oceans and forms clouds in the atmosphere. These clouds then release precipitation, which falls on the land and can be stored in lakes, rivers, and groundwater. Some of the water also accumulates in glaciers and ice caps.
How are sediments moved about?
Mostly By water from river.... than Air, Glaciers etc.
What are the pros and cons of glaciers?
Pros:· Glaciers provide drinking water· Glacier water provides plants water· Glaciers help generate hydroelectric powerCons:· Glaciers cause flooding· Glaciers cause avalanches
Why spirogyra is included in algae?
It is eukariyotic Photosynthetic Found in water Do not have an embryo in life cycle
How is glaciers related to the water cycle?
no
If the snow and ice in glaciers are tens of thousands of years old explain how they can be part of the water cycle?
because water remains in a constant cycle and the frozen snow and glaciers are part of that. it just that they remains in the same place.
How does water move across the surface of the Earth?
Floods Waterfalls Glaciers melting into water bodies rain (water cycle)
Where is the main source of water in the water cycle?

What material is included in the hydrosphere that is not in liquid form?
Parts of the hydrosphere include oceans, seas, glaciers, lakes, rivers, clouds and other water in the atmosphere, and underground water.

How might an increase in heat from the sun affect the hydrosphere and the hydrolic cycle?
Ice in glaciers will melt and more water will move into the air

What role do glaciers play in earths rock cycle?
Glaciers are an important part of the rock life cycle. The part they play is to break huge rock faces into smaller pieces, as well as to move rocks from one place to another, while grinding them into pebbles and sand.
