How is snow transformed into glacial ice?
Snow is transformed into glacial ice by time and pressure. If the glacier and the snow on top never melts, it continually becomes more compact.
What is the glacial period of history?
A glacial period is like the time of ice ages, when the most of the earth is covered in ice and snow.
What is a glacial budget?
A glacial budget is essentially the balance of a glacier from the input of snow, ice, and water. Accumulation and loss of ice from melting are all data used to figure this budget.

How does snow turn into ice?
when H2O (water) hits snow it turns to ice
What causes snow to turn turn to glacial ice?
Time, pressure, temperature, and compaction.

What causes glacial groove?
Glacial grooves are caused by the ice picking up boulders and scraping them across the bedrock.

What is a glacial ice made from?
Glaciers form in areas where the summers are not warm enough to melt snow. The snow gradually piles up over many years and the weight of all that snow compacts the snow layers below it into solid ice.
How do iceberg turn into ice?
snow
What is a horn and when does it form?
A glacial horn is the most extreme type of pyramidal peak. A glacial horn is often known as a horn, which is a mountaintop that has been modified by the action of ice in glaciation and frost weathering. Glacial horns are formed by glacial erosion in mountainous areas.
What causes snow blindness?
the reflection of sunlight from ice or snow into the eyes.
