Glacier-  Glaciers contain most of the drinking water approximately 70% of the water on earth. It helps to keep the earth cool and provides a habitat to many animals. The glacier begins to form when the snow remains in the same area year around where it accumulates to transform into ice. As this process follows year and year the new layer of snow, falls into an older layer which compresses each other to form crystallization processes which form heavy ice which moves around from the top hills to form the glacier. As it has the tendency to move so it takes with them heavy masses & rock which makes them bind where the air pocket starts to disintegrate itself to form a heavy mass.

There are two types of glaciers.
