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.

Yes, glaciers form from the hydrosphere through the accumulation and compaction of snow over many years. As snow accumulates, it compresses into ice, eventually forming glaciers.
There are no glaciers on Fiji. It's too warm for a start.
That would be called a Fjord.
Glaciers can form U shaped valleys.
Glaciers form when the rate of snow fall exceeds the rate of melting.
Valley Glaciers!
NO
because austrailia has warm weather and warm weather does not cause glaciers to form
valley glaciers
From glaciers.

Glaciers have helped form Long Island in the sense that millions of years ago, the glaciers eroded the block of land that is now known as Long Island.
They difference between them is where there flow. Continental glaciers are enormous ice sheets, and are found in Greenland and Antarctica. Alpine glaciers form in mountain valleys.
