Answer: B. Glaciers are thick sheets of recrystallized ice.

D. Glaciers last throughout the year.

Explanation:

A glacier is a continuously moving ice mass. It is formed over many years in regions where snow falls more quickly than it melts and evaporates. They are not stationary, but move due to their weight.

A high number of glaciers exist in mountainous regions but glaciers are not limited to these areas. They also do form on land.  

Glaciers currently cover about 10% of our planet, down from the last Ice age when 32% of land was covered in ice.

Which of the following volcanoes would you expect to erupt explosively : A volcano located near a subduction zone, or a volcano
svp [43]

Answer:

The volcano over a mantle hotspot

Explanation:

I say this because lava comes from the grinding of those mantles, which melt rocks and make lava. If the mantles are super active, the lava will more than likely be explosive. Think of this (heat wise) as tea boiling in a kettle. The stove is the mantle, kettle as volcano and water as lava. When the mantles get hot enough they push that heat and pressure into the water, making it boil and when the steam starts to squeal out of the kettle, the volcano has erupted. Hope this helped!
