Answer:

Glaciers begin forming in places where more snow piles up each year than melts. Soon after falling, the snow begins to compress, or become denser and tightly packed. It slowly changes from light, fluffy crystals to hard, round ice pellets. New snow falls and buries this granular snow.

Answer:

Good question

Explanation:

A glacier is a large, perennial accumulation of crystalline ice, snow, rock, sediment, and often liquid water that originates on land and moves down slope under the influence of its own weight and gravity.It is in the metamorphic process of snow-becoming-ice. Eventually, firn changes into solid glacier ice. Firn takes about a year to form. (In colder parts of the world, this could take as long as 100 years.)
