Glaciers form where more snow falls than melts. So, it really depends where the glacier is. If the area snows like crazy a lot, the size of the glacier would be big. If it doesn't snow that much there, the glacier would probably melt much faster, and be less big.

How can changes in the size of a glacier indicate climate changes?
no
What situation allows a glaciers size to be maintained?
a glacier has a snowline at the same height as the wastage line.
Why do glaciers grow and shrink?
Melting and compacting of water versus solid ice, which could not compact.
What are the 3 physical properties of a glacier?
composition, size, weight
Two factors that effect the size of glaciers?
Glacier size is dependent on snowfall and temperature.
What is the Relationship between temperature and glacier size?
Temperature influences glacier size.
What is a large mass of ice and snow forming when the rate of snowfall constantly exceeds the melting rate of snow?
A glacier.
What is the average snowfall for glacier national park MT?
According to the National Parks Service, the average annual snowfall over the last thirty years is 137.5 inches (unless I added wrong).
What can a glacier do to earth?
A glacier can not do any damage to earth and it depends on the size of the glacier if it is huge it may flood
What are glacier made of?

What is the relationship between size and temperature?
Temperature influences glacier size.
What is the difference between glacier water and geyser water?
Glacier water forms from melted snowfall. Geyser water is groundwater that reaches heated rock underground and is thrown back to the surface when some of it turns to steam.(Both Crystal Geyser and Glacier are trademark names for drinking water.)
What relationship between accumulation and ablation is necessary for the ice front of a glacier to advance?
The accumulation or snowfall rate needs to exceed the ablation which is the snow or ice melting rate in order for a glacier to advance or move forward. ~hope I'm right!
