They are believed to be so big because there was a big freeze for a while and in that time the glaciers were formed and because of the climate they are in, they stayed that way! To find out more about the big freeze Google it, it's quite interesting and might make your understanding more clear! :)
What else can I help you with?
Which way do glaciers move?
Glaciers are big chucks of ice that are usually seen at the north and south pole. The glacier's move in the direction of the waters current.
Why does snow that forms glaciers change to ice?
The snow changes the ice because in order to create the large mass of ice the temperature must freeze the huge clump of snow into a large mass of ice, thus creating the glacier, and so forth the glaciers would then be considered the large mass of ice that was meant to be formed.
What a glaciers?
A glacier is a thick sheet of ice.
How is gravity and mass alike?
because with gravity has a couple types but one of them are water that turns to ice and so does glaciers.
Why does glaciers and polar ice caps have greatest amount of fresh water?
Cause Of Snow Marins And Glaciers
What do glaciers give us to drink?
glaciers are just lots of ice. when this ice melts it turns into H2O (water). so glaciers give us water to drink.
What are the different types of glaciers?
Ice Sheets Ice Shelves Ice Caps Ice Streams/Outlet Glaciers Icefields Mountain Glaciers Valley Glaciers Piedmont Glaciers Cirque Glaciers Hanging Glaciers Tidewater Glaciers
How big can continental glaciers become?
Continental glaciers can cover vast areas, with ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica reaching thicknesses of up to 3km (1.9 miles) and covering millions of square kilometers. These glaciers can have a significant impact on global climate and sea levels due to their sheer size and volume of ice.
What are the similarities between icebergs and glaciers?
They are both big peices of ice found all over the world. Glaciers fall off of huge mountains made of ice. And Icebergs are huge pecies of ice that float all around the artic oceans.
What are glaciers like?
Glaciers are large bodies of ice that flow slowly over land, sculpting the landscape as they move. They can be found in polar regions, high mountain ranges, and even some lower latitudes. Glaciers accumulate snow over time, which compacts into ice and causes the glacier to advance downhill.
Which way do glaciers move?
Glaciers are big chucks of ice that are usually seen at the north and south pole. The glacier's move in the direction of the waters current.
What type of glaciers are sometimes called icecaps?
A glacier and an ice cap are two different things so there are no glaciers called icecaps.
Which formation was created by glaciers in the last ice age?
The Great Lakes were created by glaciers in the last ice age.
Where is the largest amount of water found?
in frozen glaciers and ice caps. i think so.... ._.
How are glaciers and erosion the same and different?
Glaciers and erosion are both natural processes that shape the Earth's surface over time. Glaciers, however, are large bodies of ice that flow slowly over land, eroding and reshaping the landscape through the movement and melting of ice. Erosion, on the other hand, refers to the process of wearing away and transporting rock and soil by natural forces like water, wind, and ice, and can occur in various forms beyond just glaciers.
What is a glaciers made of?
Glaciers are made of ice that has been formed a long time ago.
Why are glaciers slow?
glaciers are very big
