When glaciers cover large parts of a continent, they generally reshape the landscape beneath them through processes like erosion and deposition. Once the glaciers retreat, they leave behind features such as valleys, lakes, and moraines. The soil in those areas may become nutrient-rich due to the melting ice, allowing for potential vegetation growth. However, the climate and other environmental factors will also significantly influence the recovery of ecosystems in those regions.
No. Only a fairly small percentage of Earth's land is covered by glaciers. However, about 75% of the surface is covered by water.
it is 28% of the world was covered by glaciers. 28% of the earth was covered by Glaciers during the Ice Age.
They are called ice ages :)
Roughly 10% of Earth's land area is covered by ice in the form of glaciers and ice caps. In addition, about 7% of the Earth's surface is covered by ice in the form of ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland.
About 10.4% of the worlds land surface is glacier. That is way lower than we should have. Stop polluting, littering, and being bad for our Earth!ilovecatz1234
There is about 4.9% of land covered by glaciers in alaska.
about 69% of Earths fresh water is in glaciers.
Antarctica is a continent that covers 10% of the earth's surface. Ninety-eight percent of it is covered with an ice sheet. The mountainous terrain of the continent means that there are thousands of glaciers on the continent. "Near Antarctica' is the Southern Ocean, which may be home to icebergs calved off continental glaciers. Rather than 'famous glaciers', Antarctica is home to ice shelves, the most famous, perhaps, being the Ross Ice Shelf, which is about as large as France.

Glaciers cover nearly 10% of Earth's land surface.
During the peak of the last ice age, approximately 30% of Earth's surface was covered by glaciers. These glaciers were part of massive ice sheets that extended over North America, Europe, and Asia.
