Explein how a galcier is formed?
In the far north, the far south, and on mountain tops, it gets cold. It snows. In some places, it takes a long time for the snow to melt. Sometimes the snow does not melt during the summer. Instead, the snow stays there and the next years snow lands on top of the old snow. This creates a snow field. As time goes by, the snow field becomes more and more compressed. The snow field turns to ice. It turns into an ice field. Then, the ice field begins to flow in one or more directions. At that point it became a glacier.
How long does snow on mountain tops stay?
On mountains with the highest peaks, snow and ice remains year-round; it never fully melts. In lower elevations, snow would behave according to the temperature. In warm spring time, lower elevation snow melts and feeds streams. Ice will also break up and melt.
Why is snow on the mountains white?
Snow is white, and snow is cold so it appears on the tops of mountains where it is the coldest.
Why is there snow on mountain tops in summer?
There are 2 reasons. 1) Temperatures drop with altitude. It is much colder on the mountain tops, so snow that has fallen can remain longer. Melted snow can re-freeze if nights are still cold. 2) Because mountain tops tend to get more snow, certainly more than the base anyway. If the snow can survive through the summer, it will continue to compress and add to itself and turn into a glacier. In some cases, cloudier climates will maintain snow because not enough sunlight reaches the mountaintop to melt the frozen precipitation there.

Why does snow stay on mountain tops?
It stays on the mountains longer because up in the mountains, the air is a lower temperature and that makes it hard for it to melt. So up here in Wyoming, our snow in the Unita mountains usually stays all year long. :)AnswerSince the top of a mountain is closer to the sun than the base is, the peak should be warm and toasty, right? Actually the top is the mountain's coldest spot. Here's why: The dense atmosphere near the base easily traps heat. But the thinner atmosphere near the peak traps less heat, and the temperature gets colder and colder the higher you go up. Above a certain point, called the snow line, snow never melts. So when it comes to mountains, snow doesn't always mean wintertime.
