What else can I help you with?
Why do glaciers form only in certain areas?
because they only form in cold places
Do valley glaciers form in area that have cold temperatures that are cold all year?
No, continental glaciers form in areas that have cold temperatures all year.
What do shape do glaciers form?
Glaciers can form various shapes, including valley glaciers, ice sheets, and ice caps. Valley glaciers form in mountain valleys, while ice sheets cover vast areas of land. Ice caps are smaller ice masses that are typically dome-shaped and found in polar regions.
The small glaciers that exist in high mountain areas are called what?
The small glaciers that exist in high mountainous areas were called mountain glaciers or cirque glaciers.
How are valley glaciers formed?
They both form usually in areas of high elevation in areas that get more snowfall than could melt in the summer.
Is the formation of glaciers is directly controlled by climate?
Yes, the formation of glaciers is directly controlled by climate. Glaciers form in areas where snowfall exceeds snowmelt and evaporation, allowing the snow to accumulate and eventually compress into ice. A colder climate with consistent snowfall and cool temperatures is necessary for glaciers to form and grow.
How did the location of the glaciers affect the movement of people and animals?
Glaciers acted as barriers, limiting movement for both people and animals. Glaciers could block pathways, forcing individuals to find alternate routes to travel. As glaciers retreated, they opened up new areas for habitation and migration.
The small glaciers that exist in high mountainous areas are called?
its not mountain glaciers but its valley glaciers
What can continental glaciers form?
Glaciers can form U shaped valleys.
What are the small glaciers that exist in high mountainous areas?
