Geography - glaciers

Glaciers

A glacier is a mass of ice that moves very slowly,under the force of gravity downhill

How do glaciers form?

Glaciers develop over many years in places where snow has fallen but not melted. Snow is compacted and turns to ice. The weight of the ice means that it starts to slip down mountain sides over time.
