GLACITATION. GLACIERS Approximately 10% of the earth’s land surface is covered by glaciers years ago 25-30% of the earth’s land surface was covered.

Aim: What are Glaciers? I. Glacier – found at high altitudes and high latitudes. These are locations where more snow falls during the winter than melts.
