Why glacier do not melt and an ice cube melt quickly?
Ice cube melts but the glacier does not melt because depending upon the temperature of the surrounding. When an ice cube is taken out of the refrigerator, there is a sudden change in the temperature of the surrounding as it (temperature) increases so the ice cube depending upon the temperate of the surroundings melts earlier. According to the latent heat of fusion, it will first melt completely to become liquid and then its temperature will increase to reach a state of thermal equilibrium e of the room temperature. In case of a glacier, the temperature of its surroundings is less so a glacier does not melt like ice cube.
How do the glacier move?
They melt and then slide
How does a continental glacier form?
Snow along a broad plateau does not melt, but compacts into a glacier.
Did a glacier melt in the great canyon?

heat
What is a glacial melt?
The water melting from a glacier is called the glacier melt. This water often supplies the water for some of the great rivers of the world, like the Ganges and the Yangtsee.
When new snow is added to a glacier faster than ice and snow melt does the glacier get larger or smaller?
Smaller
