How are glaciers formed?
A glacier forms as layers of snow build up. The weight from the upper layers of snow pack down the lower layers until the lower layers become very hard and form ice.

How can sedimentary rock be formed?
Layers of sand and other sediments are deposited by the action of wind and water. These layers build deeper over the centuries until the weight of all the top layers results in huge pressure on the lower layers squeezing all the various sediments together into a solid layer of rock.

What is the top layer of concrete called?
