Answer 2

Glaciers are huge masses of ice slowly flowing over a land mass, formed from compacted and recrystallized snow in an area where snow accumulation exceeds melting and sublimation. They can either descend from high mountains, as in valley glaciers, or move outward from centers of accumulation, as in continental glaciers. They are like a great river of ice, slowly moving and crushing rock underneath it, shaping the landscape.
a large mass of ice and they form where snow falls more than melts
a big piece of ice on a moutian

Answer 3

A glaicer is a mass of ice over 1 sq. mile big. Glaicers are usually around the poles but, latley have been shrinking because of global warming according to scientists. Glaciers are pure water, for the parts that are water. They tend to move downhill and scrape up rocks, dirt, and debris in their path. Although when melted and flitered contain no viruses or bacteria. They also tend to preserve

Answer 4

A glacier is a river of ice, it acts like a normal river but just frozen, sometimes when large movement occurs, it will rip a hole on the surface of the glacier, these are called crevasses, they are sometimes virtually bottomless, glaciers also carve out mountain ranges over millions of years.

Answer 5

A glacier is a large mass of ice that forms over many years from the accumulation and compaction of snow. Glaciers move slowly downhill due to their own weight and the force of gravity. They are found in polar regions as well as mountainous areas.

Answer 6
