A glacier forms in a place where snow builds up year after year for a long time. The key thing is that the snow does not melt away in the summer. As the snow builds up over time, its own weight causes it to compress into ice. When the ice gets thick enough, it begins to flow under the influence of gravity. Glaciers can form only on relatively flat areas, or on slopes with less than 30 degrees of pitch in the mountains; too much steeper and the snow will avalanche instead of building up to a thickness that would form into ice.

In the process in making a snow ball natural forces compact snow to make a large mass of moving ice called a glacier
'Alpine' glaciers form.
Glaciers are not major landforms because they aren't land. Glaciers do, however, create landforms
Glaciers are big ice forms that form in really cold waters. They are like land except in ice form.
They form a huge mass that covers the entire continent?
Yes
yes, but it takes over a hundred years for glaciers to form (its a very slow process)
Valley glaciers melt and it make a U shaped profile (cirque) ~W
Glaciers can form U shaped valleys.
The process of becoming covered by glaciers is called glaciation.
Glaciers, mostly Glaciers Melting
Glaciers form when the rate of snow fall exceeds the rate of melting.
The hailstones are mas
Glaciers form when the rate of snow fall exceeds the rate of melting.
'Alpine' glaciers form.
Valley Glaciers!
