Glaciers move because they're like big, slow slushies on ice. When snow falls and turns into ice, it pushes the glacier forward, just like when you push a heavy block of ice on your kitchen floor. Sometimes, the ice slides over rocks underneath, helping it move even more slowly.
Examples
- A glacier is like a giant snow cone that slowly pushes itself forward.
- Imagine stacking pillows on top of each other until they start to slide off the bed.
- If you press your hand against a thick block of ice, it might begin to move slightly.
