Hi Well, the only similarity is that they are both made of water. A glacier is a huge lump of water ice and nothing more. If a glacier melted fast enough it would become a river, although, as has tragically happened in South America, a glacier that is melted super-fast by being in the path of an exploding volcano turns into a river of mud and debris roaring into villages at 100mph, with the expected devastation.

What else can I help you with?
Can rivers and lakes be made from glaciers?
Yes, glaciers can create both rivers and lakes. When glaciers melt, they release water that can flow into rivers or accumulate in depressions to form lakes. This often occurs as part of the glacial melting process in areas where glaciers are present.
What do rivers ponds streams glaciers and icebergs all contain?
Water in its various forms - liquid in rivers, ponds, and streams; solid in glaciers and icebergs.
How will melting glaciers affect the mountain streams and rivers downstream?
If mountain glaciers disappear there will be no source for many mountain streams, which will then dry up. Many rivers will be reduced in size as a result.
What are the rivers of ice in antarctica called?
i think the rivers of ice in Antarctica are called glaciers.
What will happen in the future of glaciers?
In the future, glaciers are expected to continue melting due to global warming. This will result in rising sea levels, changes in freshwater availability, and environmental impacts on ecosystems that rely on glaciers for water supply. Efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are critical to help slow down glacier melting.
Can rivers and lakes be made from glaciers?
Yes, glaciers can create both rivers and lakes. When glaciers melt, they release water that can flow into rivers or accumulate in depressions to form lakes. This often occurs as part of the glacial melting process in areas where glaciers are present.

How does glaciers and rivers form new rocks?
Glaciers and rivers transport eroded rock material (sediment), that can form new sedimentary rock after deposition.
