I'll just name a handful of them. Or atleast the ones you can usually see. The Worthington Glacier on the Richardson Highway, The Valdez Glacier down Airport Road, Shoup Glacier in Shoup Bay, Anderson Glacier (you can see coming over a mountain) Columbia Glacier and Mears Glacier you can view if you take a Stan Stephens or Lu Lu Belle cruise out of Valdez or take your own boat out.
Living near glaciers can provide access to a valuable source of freshwater, as glaciers store a significant amount of the world's freshwater resources. Glaciers also contribute to unique ecosystems and biodiversity, supporting a variety of plant and animal species. Additionally, glaciers can attract tourists and researchers, boosting local economies and providing opportunities for scientific study and exploration.
True. Continental glaciers are large ice sheets that cover vast land areas near the North and South Poles. These glaciers are much larger than alpine glaciers and play a significant role in shaping the landscape through processes like erosion and deposition.
I dont know
Ice or snow, due to the colder temperatures in polar regions. This frozen water can be found in glaciers, ice caps, and icebergs.
Free-floating glaciers are commonly referred to as "icebergs." These massive chunks of ice break off from glaciers or ice shelves and float in open water. Icebergs can vary significantly in size and shape, and they are typically found in polar regions and near the coastlines of continents.
Those glaciers are high in the mountains.
Mars still has glaciers. Besides the ice caps scientists have discovered glaciers near the equator of mars that are up to half a mile thick.
Because near the north pole there are glaciers and icebergs. They reflect the suns rays, while near the equator, there are no glaciers.
California
Near the poles, in glaciers, ice-caps.

The Exxon Valdez oil spill did not occur near the polar bear's habitat so none were affected.

There are many that have never been named. Some with names include: Tazlina. Stephens. Tonsina. Schwan. Wortman's. Cleve Creek. Valdez. Hubbard. Lillie. Yentna.
Amber Valdez goes by Valdez.
Glaciers form in regions where snowfall exceeds snowmelt over many years, allowing ice to accumulate. Near the poles, colder temperatures slow down the melting of snow and ice, leading to the formation of glaciers over time. Additionally, polar regions receive more snowfall due to atmospheric circulation patterns, contributing to the presence of more glaciers.
Glaciers form near the equator .
