Nonfiction: Rivers of Ice Name Score Read the passage, then answer the questions. Rivers of Ice A glacier is a river of ice that moves so slowly you cannot see it. It forms high in the mountains where more snow falls than melts each year. Over hundreds of years, the snow is pressed into thick, solid ice. Gravity slowly pulls this heavy ice downhill, a little each day. As the glacier grinds along, it carves valleys and scrapes rock into powder. When the ice reaches warmer air, its front edge melts and feeds cold rivers. Glaciers store much of the fresh water on Earth. 1) What is a glacier? 2) Where do glaciers form? 3) What pulls the ice downhill? 4) What do glaciers store?
