Is glacier made of solid water?
Yes, glaciers are made of solid water. Glaciers form when snow accumulates over time and undergoes compaction and recrystallization, turning into ice. The weight of the accumulated ice causes it to flow slowly downhill, resulting in the formation of glaciers.
Was there a time with less glaciers?
Yes, during the Carboniferous period (i.e. the time when most of our coal resources formed) the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere were much much higher than they are now. This produced a greenhouse effect so strong that not only did the glaciers melt away but there was also no polar icecaps!
