what are glaciers?

Answer 1

lots of ice

Answer 2

Glaciers are masses of MOVING ice.
Ice masses originate as compacted snow in small hollows above snow-line (the level upto which snow melts in summer). The snow is compacted into neve and finally into firn (when all the air is removed). When the ice has sufficient depth and can exert enough pressure to melt at the floor of the mass, it would begin to move from its point of origin/ accumulation. It will then be called a Glacier.

Answer 3

It is snow that got lots of pressuare because there werre too much snow so the pressuare makes the snow harder and like ice. The ices are called glaciers. Some of them are the ones that got left from the ice-age.
It wears away land, rocks and makes it smooth. If it is on a mountain, then it goes down and breaks down into the water if there is water at the end of the mountain

Answer 4

glaciers r massive structures of ice usually found in cold areas...like the poles.they r not stationary as due the melting of the ice(due to the pressure) at the bottom of the glacier,that is weathering the keep on moving but there speed of movement is very much less.

Answer 5

In real glaciers are frozen form of ice found in northern and sourthern hemispheres.These glaciers float on the water as icebergs.

Answer 6

Glaciers are parctically like ice bergs. Big giant frmaes of ice. The catch is their shaped like cliffs and are very tall. A lot taller then any of ice bergs you'll ever see.

Answer 7

Ice age ice formation.

Answer 8

giant masses of ice. usually found very close to the northern and southern hemispheres of the earth
