Glaciers can form only on relatively flat areas, or on slopes with less than 30 degrees of pitch in the mountains; too much steeper and the snow will avalanche instead of building up to a thicknessthat would form into ice.
A moraine is formed by a glacier. A moraine may be terminal, medial, or lateral.
an esker is formed by a Glacier
The name of a glacier that has frozen to bedrock is rock glacier. A rock glacier is formed by angular blocks of frozen rock that form in the valley of glaciers.
The Upsala Glacier in Argentina is sometimes referred to as an "armchair glacier" due to its unique shape, resembling the shape of an armchair.
No, sediment is not part of a glacier system. Glaciers are made up of ice formed from compacted snow, and sediment is material that is eroded and transported by the glacier or deposited under the glacier. Sediment can become trapped in the glacier ice as it moves, but it is not considered as part of the glacier system itself.
An alpine glacier is a glacier that FORMED on a mountain. It doesn't have to BE on a mountain, just formed on one.

A tarn (or corrie loch) is a mountain lake or pool, formed in a cirque excavated by a glacier.
glacier erosion
A moraine is formed by a glacier. A moraine may be terminal, medial, or lateral.
No, a glacier canyon is not a real glacier. A glacier canyon is a canyon formed by the movement of a glacier over time, carving out the landscape as it flows.
No. A glacier is a mass of moving snow and ice.
