The Clues Glaciers Left Behind! | Winter Science | SciShow Kids

The video explores glaciers, focusing on their formation, movement, and impact on the Earth's surface. It explains how glaciers form from packed snow, move due to their weight, and leave behind clues like glacial striations and moraines. A model using an ice cube tray demonstrates glacier movement. The video also discusses how glaciers create lakes and change landscapes over time, with examples like the Great Lakes and Cape Cod.
