For a glacier to form, specific conditions must be met, including consistent cold temperatures that allow for the accumulation and compaction of snow over time. This typically occurs in polar regions or at high altitudes where snowfall exceeds melting. Additionally, there must be a sufficient supply of snow and ice that can compress under its own weight, leading to the formation of dense glacial ice.
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.
