Imagine a giant snowman that never melts, that’s like a glacier! When it moves, it carries rocks and dirt with it, like a big, slow bulldozer. As it rolls along, it carves out valleys and makes lakes. Over time, glaciers can change the shape of whole mountains.
Examples
- A glacier slowly pushes rocks down a mountain like a giant snowplow.
- When a glacier melts, it leaves behind a beautiful blue lake.
- Rocks carried by a glacier can scratch the ground beneath it, making new patterns.
