What structure forms when ice freezes?

Answer 1

The 5 main parts of a glacier are

1. Accumulation zone (Source snowfield)
2. Crevasse field (where the flowing ice goes over bumps).
3. Equilibriumlines where flowing glaciers merge
4. Lateral and medial moraines (were ground up debris accumulates)
5. The Glacial Toe or terminus (where the terminal moraine is deposited)

Answer 2

A glacier is made up primarily of ice that is flowing. A glacier usually has snow on top of it - it is this snow that, when built up and compacted, created the glacial ice - and rocks and other debris the flowing ice has picked up or that has fallen on top of the glacier.

Answer 3

# Accumulation zone (Source snowfield) # Crevasse field (where the flowing ice goes over bumps). # Equilibriumlines where flowing glaciers merge # Lateral and medial moraines (were ground up debris accumulates) # The Glacial Toe or terminus (where the terminal moraine is deposited) (Note there are more parts to a glacier)

Answer 4

when snowfalls on to more snow gravity pushes it down over the years, air slowly gets out pushing it off the land.

Answer 5

Glaciers are made of compacted snow in the form of ice. As they move, they pick up rock and debris which becomes incorporated into the ice.

Answer 6

Mostly water (ice), however you find that a glacier carves out the sides of the valley it is in, and this causes dirt, rocks etc to fall onto the glacier.
