Glaciers shape the landscape around them and affect our everyday lives, even if the nearest glacier is thousands of miles away.
A glacier may move in two ways.
Basal sliding is when an entire glacier moves because its base is slightly melted. Instead of mostly internal movement, the bottom of the glacier slides downhill as well. This makes the glacier able to move much like an ice cube is able to glide across a table if it is pushed.
Alpine glaciers are created from the densely packed snow and ice found on top of mountains as well as in the valleys between them.
