Detailed explanation-1: -Glaciers are massive bodies of slowly moving ice. Glaciers form on land, and they are made up of fallen snow that gets compressed into ice over many centuries. They move slowly downward from the pull of gravity.
Detailed explanation-2: -A glacier is a large, perennial accumulation of crystalline ice, snow, rock, sediment, and often liquid water that originates on land and moves down slope under the influence of its own weight and gravity.
Detailed explanation-3: -A glacier is a huge mass of ice which moves very slowly, often down a mountain.
Detailed explanation-4: -The moving ice mass downslope under the impact of gravity is called a glacier. About 10 percent of the earth’s surface is now covered by the glacier. Glacier is formed due to the accumulation of ice above snow-line under extreme cold climate.
Detailed explanation-5: -Slow-moving mass of ice or a river of ice is called a Glacier.
