Introduction to Ice on the Land

Key Ideas: 
  1. A glacier is a mass of ice that moves very slowly downhill. They are found at high altitude across the globe, even on high mountains close to the equator, and at lower altitude in high latitudes close to the North and South Poles. The formation of glaciers and the process by which they shape the landscape around them is called glaciation.
