Three factors are necessary for the formation of a glacier: abundant snowfall, steadily cold temperatures, and deep basins in which snow can accumulate. As snow and ice build up, the frozen mass becomes compacted into a dense, opaque slab as solid as a rock. When the ice reaches a depth of about 100 feet, the glacier begins to move downhill under its own weight. Crevasses (cracks) form when the heavy middle area moves faster than its shallow edges, resulting in a laceration or tearing of the ice sheet. |
