Snow falls in the mountains, and gradually compresses into ice (and preserves some of the old air in the process!). This ice then travels downvalley under gravity, and this part is the glacier.
A kettle.
[Glacial] flow
Glacial ice is much more solid then regular ice. Glacial ice is also alot colder than regular ice. Glacial ice can also be up to 1/2 a mile thick. Glaciation is aan extremly powerful force. 2. Glaciation happend very recently in geologic terms and there has not been enough time for the glacial features to be worn away.
Yes. Glacial ice is ice that has been compressed under great pressure and will react differently as it melts.
Glacial till or 'Moraine'.
A kettle.
a glacier valley forms from the pieces of ice that the glacier leaves behind when it broken down thats all i realy know

Pertaining to ice or to its action; consisting of ice; frozen; icy; esp., pertaining to glaciers; as, glacial phenomena., Resembling ice; having the appearance and consistency of ice; -- said of certain solid compounds; as, glacial phosphoric or acetic acids.
A kettle is a depression left by melted blocks of ice in glacial deposits.

An upward rebounding of a coastline due to the melting of glacial ice is called "isostatic rebound." This occurs when the weight of glaciers is removed, causing the land to rise as it adjusts to the decreased load.
No
The type of erosion that is caused by moving masses of ice is called glacial erosion.
