Glaciers
By: Madison Moser
What is a glacier?
Glaciers are large masses of ice. They move and form in cold weather like in Antarctica and the Artic. Glaciers can also be found on mountain tops and water flows through the ice on the tops. Glaciers move slowly through the water like oceans.
Physical Features
Glaciers and ice sheets are huge! They cover big pieces of land. Ice sheets are the biggest
glaciers on the whole world! If you see snow or ice on top of a mountain it could have been a mountain glacier.
Natual Resources
Glaciers and made of ice so you can get ice. People that live by mountain
glaciers sometimes take some of the ice and melt it for water. Rocks are by
glaciers too. Small plants get carried in the wind and die after a little while.
Animals
Small things get taken by the wind and land on glaciers
like seeds, small plants, pollen from plants, little insects,
and sometimes even birds!
