Expert Solution
Step 1

The glacier is a huge landmass covered with ice that slowly moves over land and is called the river of the ice. Glaciers are made up of compact and recrystallized snow and hence Glaciers forming areas have the permanent cover of snow or ice. There are two types of glacier forms-

1. Continental Glacier
