- 2. GLACIERS Glaciers are “rivers” of ice which too erode the landscape by bulldozing soil and stones to expose the solid rock below. Glaciers carve out deep hollows. As the ice melts they get filled up with water and become beautiful lakes in the mountains. The material carried by the glacier such as rocks big and small, sand and silt gets deposited. These deposits form glacial moraines. WORK ON ICE

- 4. Glaciers from distant landforms looks like frozen river moving slowly over some land surface or down a valley WORK ON ICE
- 5. ALPINE GLACIERS Alpine glaciers begin to flow downhill from bowl-shaped mountain hollows called cirques. As the glaciers overflow the cirque, they move downward. They dig deep into the terrain, forming rugged, dramatic landscapes. As they move, glaciers erode or wear away the land beneath and around them. WORK ON ICE
