A) Greenland, Antarctica, Himalayas, South America B) Canada, Russia, the Austrian Alps, Himalayas C) Iceland, Greenland, Alaska, Montana D) The Swiss Alps, South America, Greenland, AntarcticaExplanation / Answer
1)A cirque glacier,it is flowing of ice and snow into a large body of water. It is a bowl-shaped depression on the side of or near mountains. It often occurs as the result of avalanching from higher surrounding slopes.
2)Piedmont, out of the place landscape created by glaciers deposits material. It is the landform which created at the foot of a mountain by debris deposited by shifting streams.
3)Connected valley glacier along a mountain range is Piedmont which spreads out at the foot of mountain ranges and glaciers that float on water are called ice fields.
4)True,glaciers are brittle in top they slide through valley and the top layer breaks apart to form crevases as these are the top layers of a moving glacier.
