Glacier ErosionBy Devin and Gaurav

What is a Glacier A glacier is a large mass of water that

if frozen over the earths surface

How do Glaciers form? Glaciers form by the accumulation of ice

or snow. It takes a great deal of pressure to make

Glacial ice. This is usually 100-180 ft. of snow

accumulation

What are the two types of glaciers. Continental glaciers- a glacier that

covers much of a continent or large island

valley glacier- a long narrow glacier that forms when snow and ice build up high in a mountain valley

The difference and alike between the two glacier types continental glaciers are wide and can

cover a continent, and valley glaciers are long and narrow.
