Ice flows down the valleys and slopes of the mountains to the lower elevations, and glaciers are born.
As glaciers carve U-shaped valleys, rocks plucked from the bedrock and frozen in the ice etch grooves and striations in the bedrock.
Glacial recession unmasks trimlines, slightly sloping changes in vegetation or weathered bedrock on the valley walls that indicate a glacier's height at its glacial maximum.
On the slopes of a mountain, the snowflake lands on a glacier.
With "warm glaciers," the weight of the ice creates a thin film of liquid water between the ice and the land, in the same way that the weight of an ice skater causes the blade of an ice skate to melt the ice, forming a thin layer of water.
Glaciers that don't meet a lake or the sea lose mass by melting or by sublimation, a process in which water changes directly from solid to gas, skipping the liquid stage.
