Glaciers are mainly found near the polar regions, such as Antarctica and Greenland, as well as in high mountain ranges around the world, like the Alps, the Andes, and the Himalayas. Glaciers can also be found in some lower latitude regions depending on the climate and elevation.

No, a woman frozen in a glacier 15,000 years ago would not be considered a fossil. Fossils are remains or traces of once-living organisms that have been preserved in the Earth's crust. The frozen woman would be considered an ancient human specimen or mummy.

Glaciers typically do not form along the equator. Glaciers are formed from accumulated snowfall over long periods of time in regions where the snowfall exceeds the rate of snowmelt. The equatorial regions generally have high temperatures throughout the year, and the snowfall is limited or absent due to the warm climate.

Glaciers require a combination of factors, including cold temperatures, high-altitude mountainous terrain, and consistent snow accumulation. These conditions are more commonly found in polar regions and at higher latitudes, where colder temperatures prevail.

However, it's worth noting that there are exceptions to this general rule.

In extremely rare cases, glaciers or glacial remnants have been observed near the equator on very high mountains with exceptionally cold and snowy conditions.

For example, some high peaks in the Andes Mountains, such as Chimborazo in Ecuador, have small glaciers near their summits despite their proximity to the equator.

These glaciers are highly localized and do not exhibit the extensive characteristics typically associated with glaciers found at higher latitudes.

The southeastern region of Ohio, known as the Appalachian Plateau, was untouched by glaciers during the last Ice Age. This region consists of rugged hills and valleys and is characterized by its unique geology, including sandstone and shale formations.

As glaciers move, they can carve out deep depressions in the land called cirques. When the glacier retreats or melts, these cirques can become filled with water, forming lakes. Glaciers can also create moraines, which are piles of debris that dam up valleys, creating lakes behind them.

The basic entrance pass is $25, valid for 7 days. Annual passes for Glacier are $35.

Yes, glaciers are made of solid water. Glaciers form when snow accumulates over time and undergoes compaction and recrystallization, turning into ice. The weight of the accumulated ice causes it to flow slowly downhill, resulting in the formation of glaciers.

Glaciers accumulate sediment through various processes. As glaciers move, they pluck and erode rocks from the underlying bedrock, entraining them into the ice. Glaciers also grind and crush the rocks they come into contact with, generating glacial flour or fine-grained sediment. Additionally, glaciers can transport sediment that has been deposited on their surface by wind or landslides, adding to their load of sediment.

As a glacier moves outward or downward, it can transport and move various objects. These can include rocks, boulders, sediments, soil, and even smaller glaciers or icebergs. The immense weight and pressure exerted by the glacier allows it to pick up and carry these objects along with it as it advances.

Calf bergs are small icebergs that are calved, or broken off, from larger icebergs. They typically range in size from a few meters to tens of meters in width and height. Calf bergs can pose a hazard to ships and navigation in areas where they are present.

When chunks of continental glaciers break off the edge of an ice sheet, they form icebergs. These icebergs can vary in size from small fragments to massive chunks of ice. They float in bodies of water and can pose hazards to shipping lanes and maritime activities.

The picking up and movement of earth beneath a glacier is referred to as glacial erosion. This process involves the glacier scraping and plucking rocks and sediment from the ground as it flows, and can result in the formation of landforms such as valleys, cirques, and moraines.

The area of Glacier Bay Wilderness in Alaska is approximately 3.3 million acres.

The largest shipping routes are always East or Westbound. There is a lot less traffic going from North to South and vice versa. For a map on world shipping routes click this link http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2010/01/global-shipping-map/

No, most of Eastern Brazil has either grassland, or broadleaf forests.

Lake Geneva. But it is partially in Switzerland and partially in France.

Next Bodensee. That is divided between Switzerland, Germany and Austria.

I've been to 58 national parks in the U.S. and Canada, and Glacier NP ranks in my personal top ten for scenic beauty.

Plucking is the process in which a glacier freezes around cracked and broken rock and when it moves downhill, the rock is plucked from the back wall of the glacier.

The force of ice being pulled down by gravity can create sufficient movement to displace all but the largest or most well-anchored rocks. Glacial movement can slide rocks several tons in weight.

None.

Except that both words start with "g" and end with "r".
