Glaciers can cause significant damage through processes like glacial erosion and flooding. As they move, glaciers can carve out landscapes, erode rock, and transport large debris, reshaping valleys and creating hazards. When glaciers melt rapidly, they can trigger catastrophic flooding, leading to the destruction of infrastructure and ecosystems downstream. The impact of a glacier's movement and melting can be profound, affecting both the environment and human settlements.

A melting glacier gets smaller, but a growing glacier gets bigger.
A glacier snout is the terminus or end point of a glacier where ice and meltwater are released. It is where the glacier meets lower elevations and warmer temperatures, causing melting and ice loss. The snout can vary in shape and size depending on the glacier's dynamics.
a continentail glaicer is a glacier that covers much of a contiient or large island
The end or outer margin of a glacier is called the glacier terminus. This is where the glacier ends and begins to melt or calve into the surrounding environment, such as a body of water or land. Changes in the glacier terminus are closely monitored by scientists to understand the health and movement of the glacier.
A glacier can not do any damage to earth and it depends on the size of the glacier if it is huge it may flood

This glacier was much larger ten years ago.
A valley glacier covers much of Greenland.
A continental glacier is a glacier that spreads out from a central mass of ice.Hope this helps.Answer 2:A continental glacier is a an ice sheet covering much of a continent

It is a valley glacier
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.

It is apline glacier
The massiveness of the earthquake damage challenged the emergency response teams. The massiveness of the glacier can only be appreciated by a visit to the mountain.
There are quite a few glaciers to hike to in Glacier, but probably the most-visited glacier is Grinnell Glacier, located in the Many Glacier Valley.
