Since glaciers are masses of ice and snow built up over thousands of years. Glaciers at one point begin to melt, evaporation creates clouds, eventually, so much water (from evaporation) gathers in the clouds that the air currents cannot keep it aloft. It falls to earth as precipitation: in the form of snow. More snow is then added to the glacier, the glacier melts slowly, and the water cycle starts over.

the meltoff in summer causes rivers that form the drainage system.
this eventually snows back down

How is glaciers related to the water cycle?
no
Where is most water in glaciers?
The most water in glaciers is in Antarctica where the polar bears rest they also show water coming from the ocean to the rocks.
Why does glaciers and polar ice caps have greatest amount of fresh water?
Cause Of Snow Marins And Glaciers
How much of earth fresh water is in icebergs and glaciers?
3%
What proportion of the worlds fresh water is stored in glaciers?
65
How is glaciers related to the water cycle?
no
What do tide water glaciers have in common?
They are all related to water.
Are plants related to the water cycle?
Yes, plants are related to water cycle. They are the component of water cycle.
If the snow and ice in glaciers are tens of thousands of years old explain how they can be part of the water cycle?
because water remains in a constant cycle and the frozen snow and glaciers are part of that. it just that they remains in the same place.
Is glaciers included in the water cycle?
The way in which glaciers fit into the hydrologic cycle is by being able to hold a lot of frozen water. They also relate to the rock cycle in that they cause major erosion.
How does water move across the surface of the Earth?
Floods Waterfalls Glaciers melting into water bodies rain (water cycle)
How the water cycle related to weather patterns and climate?
It is related because the water cycle is never ending, so the weather depends on where we are in the cycle.
How is troposphere related to the water cycle?
it has water
How are the water cycle and the climate related?
maybe because the the two of them have water and cycle
How are convection related to the water cycle?
The water cycle transfers heat in the form of liquid.
What are the 4 reservoirs of water in the water cycle?
The four main reservoirs of water in the water cycle are the oceans, atmosphere, land, and glaciers. Water evaporates from the surface of the oceans and forms clouds in the atmosphere. These clouds then release precipitation, which falls on the land and can be stored in lakes, rivers, and groundwater. Some of the water also accumulates in glaciers and ice caps.
How is water storage related to the water cycle?
Collection is the last step of water cycle. Water is stored in a proper way.
