Glaciers are extremely heavy and massive. Glaciers cover about 10 percent of the Earth's land area and store around 75 percent of the world's freshwater.

Glaciers have a high albedo: they reflect more of the Sun's light/heat back into space than bare soil. So their general effect would be cooling: the more glaciers, the larger the cooling effect.
glaciers are very big
its not mountain glaciers but its valley glaciers
Pros:· Glaciers provide drinking water· Glacier water provides plants water· Glaciers help generate hydroelectric powerCons:· Glaciers cause flooding· Glaciers cause avalanches
Glaciers appear blue because the dense ice absorbs red and yellow light, reflecting blue light. This happens because ice crystals scatter light in a way that makes the glacier look blue to our eyes.

There are 2 main types of glaciers, Continental is one, they float away from central regions. The second is alpine or valley which are the glaciers that flow down the valley from the mountain.
Glaciers formed in mountains are called mountain glaciers or alpine glaciers. They are found in high-altitude regions and flow downhill through valleys.
Continental glaciers are thicker and larger. Valley glaciers are formed on mountains; continental glaciers are formed on flat land.

there are no glaciers in Ireland

Continental glaciers and valley glaciers are both types of glaciers that form from accumulated snowfall. They both flow under the influence of gravity, albeit in different directions. While continental glaciers cover vast areas like an ice sheet, valley glaciers are confined to mountain valleys and flow down through them.
There are two syllables in the word 'glaciers'.
its not mountain glaciers but its valley glaciers
It is valley and continental glaciers they are different because continental glaciers are the largest, and valley glaciers are on the top of mountain peaks.
