The snow keeps pressing together until all the air in the snow is gone then it pushes together more until it turns into a glacier.
Any large mass of ice that moves slowly over ice is called a glacier.
Snow and ice
the weight of the newer snow compresses the older snow.
Layers of ice in a glacier or permanent ice pack form a sort of history. Snow falls on top of older layers of snow, and as it builds up the snow at the bottom gets compressed into ice. The gases in each layer represent the composition of the air at the time
The answer is "floe."flow in all direcions
A glacier is something that forms when snow falls in a place where it never has the time to melt. Eventually it builds up thick enough to turn into a thick slab of ice, and that's a glacier. Cut a piece of it, and that's glacier ice.
A glacier is made up of fallen snow, that over time, compresses together to form a solid chunk of ice. Glaciers are classified as such only after reaching 0.1 km2 in area and 50m thick. Snow is a form of precipitation in Earth's atmosphere in the form of crystalline water ice consisting of many snowflakes that fall from the sky. So snow is what forms a glacier over a large amount of time.
an ice berg is a chunk off off a glacier and a glacier is a big ice patch caused by snow

No. A glacier is a mass of moving snow and ice.
