Why are glaciers formed ?

Answer Posted / sanju

When a huge mass of ice is formed in the mountains, the
lower layers of ice ate pressed down by the weight of the
layers above. The bottom layers melt due to this pressure.
The water this formed freezes into ice again a little
further on. In this way, huge masses of ice move further on
down the mountain sides.
