Question

54. Where would you most likely find a glacier?

Answer 1

Answer:

High elevations and near 60 degrees latitude

Explanation:

The glaciers need special conditions to form. They need very cold and relatively dry climate throughout the whole year. This type of conditions can be found only on the high elevations, and on the high latitudes. Depending on the latitude, the elevation on which a glacier can form goes up or down. The elevation needed at the low latitudes is higher because it is warmer, while on the mid-latitudes and higher latitudes it is lowering because it is colder. The high latitudes provide suitable conditions for glaciers to exist throughout the whole year, as it is either constantly winter, or it is winter for 10-11 months of the year.
