Glaciers are formed in cold mountain regions where the buildup of snow is heavy enough to turn the snow underneath to ice. This can happen over years, even centuries. Then the weight of the ice gradually pushes its way down the mountain, rather like a great frozen river.
Ice caps is the name given to all the frozen ice that covers a mountain range, or a place or even a country or continent. So we talk about the Juneau ice cap in Alaska, the Greenland ice cap, and the Antarctic ice cap. These may have started as glaciers but got big enough to become an ice cap. Most ice caps have glaciers moving out at the edges.
Water in its various forms - liquid in rivers, ponds, and streams; solid in glaciers and icebergs.
Icebergs can come from both the North and South poles. Generally, icebergs in the Northern Hemisphere come from Arctic glaciers, while those in the Southern Hemisphere come from Antarctic glaciers.
No, icebergs are made of freshwater. They form from compacted snow that falls on land and then flows into the ocean as glaciers. Saltwater ice formations are typically sea ice, not icebergs.
No, there are no icebergs in the Black Sea. Icebergs are large chunks of ice that break off from glaciers or ice shelves in the Arctic or Antarctic regions, and the Black Sea does not have the conditions necessary for icebergs to form.
Icebergs form when chunks of ice break off from glaciers or ice shelves and float in the ocean. This happens due to the unique property of water expanding when it freezes, making ice less dense than liquid water. As a result, the frozen ice floats on the surface of the ocean, forming icebergs.
No, Icebergs are usually in the ocean and glaciers are usually on land
in the sea. Icebergs are broken pieces of glaciers which float out to sea.
calving
Icebergs are large chunks that broke off of glaciers by a process called calving. They move quickly in comparison to glaciers Icebergs are smaller

well all glaciers are gone except for some icebergs and kettles or moraines at anokijig will teach you what the glaciers did

Icebergs
no!!!! glaciers are ice!!!!!!!!!!! ........what a moroon... you must be thinking about icebergs.. glaciers is boiling-gassed liquids you ignorant person
Icebergs are created when chunks of the glacier break off into the sea. They don't necessarily "work together".
