What kind of glacier has pieces that break off as icebergs?
A tidewater glacier is a type of glacier that flows into the sea. As the glacier reaches the ocean, pieces of ice break off to form icebergs in a process known as calving.
Is a glacier a land form of body of water?
A glacier is a land form as it is a large mass of ice that moves slowly over land. It is not considered a body of water, but rather a type of land feature formed from accumulated snow and ice.
Where does a lateral moraine form?
A lateral moraine forms along the sides of a glacier, where debris is pushed and deposited by the glacier as it moves and erodes the surrounding landscape.
What is another form of erosion and sedimentation related to glacier formation?
Another form of erosion and sedimentation related to glacier formation is called glacial plucking. This process occurs when a glacier freezes onto rocks, lifts them as it moves, and then carries them along. As the glacier moves, it leaves behind polished and striated surfaces on the landscape due to the abrasion caused by the rocks being dragged along.
Why do crevasses form in the upper portion of a glacier but not below a depth of about 50 meters?
Crevasses form on the upper portion of the glacier because when a glacier moves over irregular terrain, the zone of fracture is subjected to tension, which forms the crevasse. The reason why it may not form below the depth of 50 feet is because plastic flow seals them off.

Is 'glacier' a noun?
Yes, glacier is a noun. "Glacial" is the adjective form.
What conditions are necessary for a glacier to form?
Glaciers form when snow accumulates and compresses into ice over time, typically in regions where more snow falls than melts. The presence of cold temperatures year-round is crucial for maintaining glacial ice. Additionally, the topography must allow for the build-up of snow and ice, such as in mountainous areas or polar regions.
What is a real tributary?
A tributary glacier is like a glacier to the side of the main glacier, oftem separated by a land form.
