A glacier is a large mass of compacted snow and ice that moves under the force of gravity.. Glaciers help to carve Earth’s landscapes as it erodes geological features in one place and then re-deposits the material elsewhere. . More winter snowfall than summer melt. Glacier formation is similar to sedimentary rock formation. Types of Glaciers. Valley glaciers or alpine glaciation. Ice sheets or continental glaciation. Glaciers of the world. Glacier Movement. Deposits by Glaciers. The Ice Age. Glaciers and Global Warming. Glacial Rebound . …………………. Snow. Line. …………………... Glaciers form in areas covered by snow, where more snow falls than melts each year.. Chapter 9 - Section 3, 4, 5, and 6. How Water Erodes. Most sediment washes or falls into a river as a result of mass movement and runoff. Other sediment erodes from the bottom or sides of the river. Streams carry sediment in several . 1. Mass Movement. A down . slope movement of loose sediment and weathered rocks resulting from the force of gravity..  Erosion following weathering climatic conditions determine which materials and how much.

Once . glacial ice exceeds a thickness of about 150 feet, the weight of the overlying ice causes . the . base of . the glacier . to become plastic and flow like a very viscous liquid. While the bottom ice responds as a plastic solid, the surface ice is very brittle. However, from the surface down to the top of the plastic portion of the glacier, the ice experiences a decrease in .
