Glaciers - Moving Ice Masses

The video explores glaciers, massive rivers of ice found globally, including on Mount Kilimanjaro and Antarctica. It explains how glaciers form when ice and snow accumulate faster than they melt, moving slowly downhill. The video details processes like freeze-thaw weathering, plucking, and abrasion, which reshape landscapes. It also discusses how climate change causes glaciers to advance and retreat, transforming the Earth's surface over time.
