Glaciers form from the accumulation of snow when it exceeds the melting rate. The pressure of overlying snow causes it to change to solid ice. Eventually, gravity will cause it to move downward or outward from its own weight. Also, melting glaciers can cause glacial lakes to become too full of water and cause them to breach their natural boundaries, flooding the villages below.
