Answer:

What do they look like?

Glaciers look like solid blocks of ice.

What climate do they exist in?

Regions that have high snowfall in winter and cool temperatures in summer.

Where can you find them?

Most of the world's glacial ice is found in Antarctica and Greenland, but glaciers are found on nearly every continent, even Africa.

What do you think we can learn from glaciers?

Glaciers preserve bits of atmosphere from thousands of years ago in these tiny air bubbles, or, deeper within the core, trapped within the ice itself. This is one way scientists know that there have been several Ice Ages. Scientists are also finding that glaciers reveal clues about global warming.

(The last question is unclear to me, so I'm going to take a guess as to what you meant)

Why is sea ice so important?

Arctic sea ice keeps the polar regions cool and helps moderate global climate.

I hope this helps!! :3

How many offspring do your animal products in one season?<br> Giraffe
sergeinik [125]

Under what circumstances might the plates of the earth stop moving?
FrozenT [24]
Answer is for the earths core to cool enough for convection to stop, then the plates would have no convection current to move them.

Explanation: If the Earth's core were to cool down, the convection currents in the mantle would stop moving. Since the convection currents drive the plates, they would stop moving.
