Why are glaciers called nature's bulldozers?
Because glaciers are huge chunks of ice that can ruin or tear down houses Only if you're daft enough to build your house right in front of a growing glacier! They are rivers of ice, not huge chunks, fed for the duration of their lives by snow avalanching off the mountain ridges around their heads, or by sustained snow-fall on an ice-cover. They are called "nature's bulldozers" (are they? by whom?) because they carve out great U-shaped valleys, but most of the material they move is carried on them or dragged along underneath, then washed downstream by melt-water from their snouts, rather than being pushed in front of the ice. So it's a misleading colloquialism.
