How does snow turn into ice to form a glacier?
The snow keeps pressing together until all the air in the snow is gone then it pushes together more until it turns into a glacier.
What happens to snow packed down by a great force?
over years and years andyeaaaars it turns into a glacier.
What is the difference between a snowfield or glacier?
Glacier has higher density then snow
Which came first the snowfield or the glacier?
You need the snow to begin making a glacier.
How does a glacier grow?
A glacier forms in a place where snow builds up for years. The main thing is that it has to be in a place where the snow does not melt in the summer. After so long, the weight of the snow compresses and becomes as, and as long as more snow falls on top of that glacier, that is what happens..... ^.^ I hope this answer helped!

What is the glacial stream in south America?
Snow falls in the accumulation area, usually the part of the glacier with the highest elevation, adding to theglacier'smass. As the snow slowly accumulates and turns to ice, and the glacier increases in weight, the weight begins to deform the ice, forcing the glacier to flow downhill.
When new snow is added to a glacier faster than ice and snow melt does the glacier get larger or smaller?
Smaller

Is a glacier formed by a flow of a river?
No. A glacier is a mass of moving snow and ice.

What type of glacier is the Tazlina glacier?
it's a valley glacier, it moves slowly carrying debris and melted snow.
How does a continental glacier form?
Snow along a broad plateau does not melt, but compacts into a glacier.
What is a large mass of ice and snow moving on land under its own weight?
That is usually called a glacier
