Glaciers are big ice forms that form in really cold waters. They are like land except in ice form.
below the freezing tempature of water
Glaciers typically do not form along the equator. Glaciers are formed from accumulated snowfall over long periods of time in regions where the snowfall exceeds the rate of snowmelt. The equatorial regions generally have high temperatures throughout the year, and the snowfall is limited or absent due to the warm climate. Glaciers require a combination of factors, including cold temperatures, high-altitude mountainous terrain, and consistent snow accumulation. These conditions are more commonly found in polar regions and at higher latitudes, where colder temperatures prevail. However, it's worth noting that there are exceptions to this general rule. In extremely rare cases, glaciers or glacial remnants have been observed near the equator on very high mountains with exceptionally cold and snowy conditions. For example, some high peaks in the Andes Mountains, such as Chimborazo in Ecuador, have small glaciers near their summits despite their proximity to the equator. These glaciers are highly localized and do not exhibit the extensive characteristics typically associated with glaciers found at higher latitudes.
No, glaciers can develop below the snow line. While the snow line is the altitude at which snow accumulates and exceeds melting, glaciers can form and persist in areas where snow falls and compacts into ice faster than it melts. Glaciers can exist in both high-altitude and polar regions.
they form over cold dry areas
No, continental glaciers form in areas that have cold temperatures all year.
because they only form in cold places
They form due to cooling in cold areas like kashmir please do answer my question how can we practise democracy at school level

I think that glaciers don't melt in the summer because glaciers form where it's cold like year long so it would be cold in the summer too. In cold weather ice doesn't melt.

Cyclones can only form in certain temperatures, and their formation is dependent on the ocean temperature being quite high. It is highly unlikely that there would be high ocean temperatures with cold air temperatures, but it is remotely possible.
They both form usually in areas of high elevation in areas that get more snowfall than could melt in the summer.
Glaciers form whereever the snow that falls in a winter isn't able to melt completely during the summer before more snow falls. It eventually compresses into ice and accumulates.
Glaciers form in areas where more snow falls in winter than can melt during the summer.
