We are each researching a different unit, and are now working on our research projects. We can't wait to share them with you. Did you know that a glacier is made out of ice, air, water, and rock debris. Rock debris is also know as sediment. Glaciers flow very slowly because of their weight.
Temperature affects the speed of a glacier.
The warmer the glacier, the faster the ice moves because there is a greater amount of melted water beneath the ice. The worlds largest and tiniest animals live in the cold, cold water. Living off little things called plankton many different animals and their babies live on Antarctica. Seals, skaus, penguins, Blue Whales and mites feed in the water. The biggest seal is called an Elephant Seal.
