1 Glaciers ! By: Jessica Chandler

2 What is a glacier? A glacier is a large mass of compacted snow and ice that moves under the force of gravity.

3 What are the two types? The first type of glacier is the valley glacier; which is a glacier that moves within valley walls. The second type of glacier is the continental glacier; which is a glacier that covers a large part of a continent.

4 How do glaciers move? They move by the slipping of the water that is being squished under all of the snow.

5 Why did Ice Ages occur in the past? One theory of why Ice Ages occurred is that a volcano erupted and that spread ash every where which caused less sunlight and that caused a year of cold and snow which caused glaciers.

6 I hope this helps! Study hard & good luck!
