Why do volcanoes have glaciers on their slopes?
Well... not all volcanoes have glaciers on their slopes! Some volcanoes have glaciers on their slopes because the volcano just isn't hot! The volcano might be inactive, 'asleep' or even 'dead'... so there is no activity in it, which means no hot lava is moving about in it, so it doesn't heat up it's slopes (so they stay cold enough for the glacier not to melt or anything)!
