What is the temperature of a glacier in Antarctica?
Inside a glacier it is exactly 0° C (the temperature at which water freezes to ice). On the surface of a glacier it can be anwhere from +25° C (if you are really lucky) to -60° C.
How does ice shape earth?
When the ice on a glacier moves it creates groves in the earth. Water gets into little cracks in rocks, stone, bricks etc, when the water freezes into ice it expands making the crack larger, this process repeats until eventually chunks of rock, brick, stone break away, over hundreds. thousands even millions of years the landscape changes because of this erosion by 'ice'
Is a glacier a mass of ice or a mass of sand?
The answer to the question is a glacier is a mass of ice.
Why is the ice in a glacier considered a mineral but the water in a river is not considered a mineral?
Ice in a glacier meets the requirements for being a mineral, because it is natural, homogeneous, solid and crystalline, and has a definite chemical fomula. River water is liquid and therefore also not crystalline, so it is not a mineral. If and when the river water freezes into ice (naturally), that ice is a mineral.

What are some glacier jokes?
What did the glacier say to the other glacier? ICE ICE BABY
What is a large mass of snow and ice that moves slowly over land?
Any large mass of ice that moves slowly over ice is called a glacier.
Why is ice in a glacier considered to be a mineral but but what forms a glacier is not?
Ice forms a glacier and therefore it is considered a mineral.

What is the difference between an ice berg and a glacier?
an ice berg is a chunk off off a glacier and a glacier is a big ice patch caused by snow
What is the difference between an ice burg and glacier?
a glacier is huge ice mountain in the arctic ocean.An iceberg is a chunk of ice that falls off the glacier into the ocean.
