How have animals in the Arctic been affected by the ice cap melting?
An ice cap is ice over land. There is no ice cap in the Arctic. Arctic sea ice is melting, however, more and more each year, and this is threatening the existence of the polar bears who rely on the habitat of sea ice to build up their store of body fat to last them through the (lengthening) summers.
Why is ice in a glacier considers to be a mineral but water from a glacier is not?
Water is not considered a mineral because it does not meet the requirement of having a solid crystalline structure. Ice does meet this criterion and therefore, it is considered a mineral.
Is a glacier a mass of ice or a mass of sand?
The answer to the question is a glacier is a mass of ice.
Is a glacier called a rock?

Why is ice in a glacier considered to be a mineral but but what forms a glacier is not?
Ice in a glacier is considered a mineral because it has a crystalline structure and forms through natural processes, meeting the criteria to be classified as a mineral. However, the material that forms a glacier, such as snow, does not have a defined crystal structure and does not meet the criteria to be classified as a mineral.
