Most of the world's ice is in Antarctica which is covered to an average depth of more than two kilometers of ice (2133 meters or 7000 feet). Ice at the North Pole is not nearly as thick. There is also a significant amount of ice on Greenland. Total water on earth (estimated): 326,000,000 cubic miles (1360,000,000 cubic km) 3% of that is fresh. 90% of all fresh water is frozen in ice.
well, a body of water is formed by glacier movement because while the glacier is moving parts of it is falling in the ocean. The glaciers are much colder then the water when the glacier falls water is formed in the water because of the melting ice.
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.
The main difference is that fresh water is liquid and found in rivers, lakes, and streams, while a glacier is frozen water in the form of ice in the polar regions or high mountains. Additionally, fresh water is more readily available for human consumption and use, while glaciers store massive amounts of ice that can impact the global climate and sea levels when they melt.
well, you see, glacier ice or solid ice is a mineral because it is in a naturally solid form, and it is natural, not man-made whatsoever, and has a crystalline structure. Water on the otherhand is usually a liquid and has minerals in it; you can't freeze water and say it is a mineral-that would be man-made.
This glacier was much larger ten years ago.
A glacier is a water reservoir and is not considered a water body.

The water from a melted glacier is less dense than the water of the seas.
glaciers move slowly but when theres alot of rain the water and the glaciers move faster
By definition a mineral must be solid. Ice is solid. Water is not.
The water from glaciers is drinkable. When drinking glacier water, the water must be filtrated first. Filtration of glacier water can be done with a coffee filter.
The front of a glacier is called the terminus or snout. It is where the glacier meets the surrounding environment, such as water or land.
