Form when the snow that falls in the winter does not completely melt in the summer.
-
Over thousands of years, the snow becomes very thick.
-
The weight of the snow turns the bottom layers to ice.
-
The cooling of magma makes glaciers larger.
Pregunta 27
Pregunta

They only move when it is snowing.
-
Continental glaciers are too large to move.
Pregunta 28
Pregunta
How do Alpine glaciers move?
Respuesta
-
Move down valleys from high elevations to low elevations under the force of gravity.
-
They move up mountains due to the large amount of ice and snow.

They do not move because they are too heavy.
-
They flatten all mountains, then move like continental glaciers.

-
They can change the rivers running in the area.
-
They flatten all mountains to make the land flat when they melt.
Pregunta 30
Pregunta
How do Continental Glaciers shape the land?
