What are the different types of glaciers?
Ice Sheets Ice Shelves Ice Caps Ice Streams/Outlet Glaciers Icefields Mountain Glaciers Valley Glaciers Piedmont Glaciers Cirque Glaciers Hanging Glaciers Tidewater Glaciers
What percent of earths water is ice caps and glaciers?
Approximately 68.7% of Earth's fresh water is stored in ice caps and glaciers. This means that, when considering all the water on Earth, about 1.7% is in the form of ice. Given that the vast majority of Earth's water is saltwater, the percentage of total water represented by ice caps and glaciers is relatively small.
What percentage of water is locked in the ice caps?
Approximately 68.7% of the Earth's freshwater is locked in ice caps and glaciers. This includes the vast ice sheets of Antarctica and Greenland, which store the majority of this frozen water. In total, ice caps and glaciers represent a significant portion of the planet's freshwater resources.
How much water is stored in polar ice caps glaciers and permanent snow?
1.7 percent
What is Thick sheets of ice that can cover large areas of a continent are called ice caps or?

What do shape do glaciers form?
Glaciers can form various shapes, including valley glaciers, ice sheets, and ice caps. Valley glaciers form in mountain valleys, while ice sheets cover vast areas of land. Ice caps are smaller ice masses that are typically dome-shaped and found in polar regions.

Where is most earth's freshwater located?
