  2. they move 1in a year and there ice

    ReplyDelete
  3. I knew that 20,000 years ago, much of North America was covered with ice.
    I did not know that Few agents of erosion are more powerful than a moving glacier and that Continental glaciers on Antarctica are so huge that entire mountain ranges are covered.

  4. During the video I learned about the different types of erosion a glacier can cause. I reviewed the two different types of glaciers and where you can find them. The video was pretty good, and had some good information.

  6. In the video I watched, I learned that some glaciers are caused by layers of snow forming into ice, and once the ice is slippery, it starts to move slowly down the mountain. I already knew that glaciers could carry along rocks and such when they move. I also knew that glaciers are originally formed by snow that turns into ice. What I didn't know is that there are multiple kinds of glaciers. Sad, I know. But its true. I had absolutely no idea! But, it turns out, there are continental glaciers, valley glaciers, etc.

  7. In the video they talked about what a cirque is and what it's shaped like. Also arches and horns. I already knew that glaciers moved really slow and left grooves in the ground. I didn't know what a cirque, arch, or a horn was.

  8. most of the united states was covered in ice and snow

    ReplyDelete
  9. What I already new about the glaciers is that there are two types valley and continental glaciers. I also knew some continental glaciers are in Antarctica and some valley glaciers are in Colorado.
    What I Learned is that glaciers can weather a mountain into a cirque. Another thing I learned is that glaciers can get bigger and bigger in the snow if it stays cold.

  10. I already knew that glaciers start to slide down hill very slowly and I knew that the bottom layer of snow is compressed into ice.What i didn't know was what an arch or a horn and a cirque.

  11. Glaciers can move a inch in one year. A cirque is a bowl shape.

    ReplyDelete
  12. in the video glaciers can take soil and rocks with them.

  16. glaciers with points are called arches

    ReplyDelete
  17. I knew that glaciers were made of snow and ice but i didn't know that 20,000 years ago most of North America was covered in snow and ice.

    ReplyDelete
  18. i knew that glaciers move and move rocks

    and i learned that the bowl shape is called a Curquth

    ReplyDelete
  19. I already knew that valley glaciers can be anywhere and continental glaciers can only be in cold weather. I also knew that glaciers move slowly. I learned that a glaciers base needs to be slippery for it to move. I also learned that glaciers move less than an inch every year.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I knew that glaciers were made of snow
    I learned that they move one inch at a time

    ReplyDelete
  21. I got every one rite i had no trouble so ya

  23. The glaciers is that there are two types valley and continental glaciers. I also knew some continental glaciers are in Antarctica and some valley glaciers are in Colorado.
    I Learned is that glaciers can weather a mountain into a cirque. Another thing i learned is that glaciers can get bigger and bigger in the snow if it stays cold.

  24. i didnt know that glaciers formed on mountains

    ReplyDelete
  25. I did know that there are valley glaciers and continental glaciers.
    I didn't know that the snow on top compressed the snow under it to make ice.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I already knew that the Valley glaciers can be anywhere and continental glaciers can only be in cold places like Antarctica.I also knew that they move very slow.I learned that they move less than an inch each year.

    ReplyDelete
  27. i learned nothing

    I knew almost everything in the video.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I already knew that glaciers move down slope, and that glaciers pick up rocks and sediment and deposit them in different places. But i found out that the bowl shaped area of erosion is called a cirque.

    ReplyDelete
  29. i learned that the top of mountains are called horns

    ReplyDelete
  30. I knew that glaciers moved, but I learned that when the bottom layer was compressed into puddy-like stuff that made the glacier move.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I already knew that glaciers are slow moving montaines of ice
    I did't know is another sign of a valley glacier is a bowl shaped area of erosion called a cirque

    ReplyDelete
  32. I already new glaciers moved down hill, but what dident know i how they formed

    ReplyDelete
  33. I learned that the layer on the bottom was compresed. I knew that they moved slow

    ReplyDelete
  34. i learned that the ice gets compressed and robots can snowboard with there boots!

    ReplyDelete
  35. there are three parts to a glacier. dough tipe part a ice part that keeps it from falling over. and then the snow on the top

    ReplyDelete
  36. I already know that glaciers moved very slowly. I learned that when ice builds up, the bottom layer becomes ice and if the snow keeps coming down, then the bottom layer turns into slippery water type putty, making the glacier move, I also learned that glaciers could move so slow, that they could move only one inch in a year!

  37. I learned that the bottom layer of a glacier is compressed into ice, then compressed more into a soft putty that helps the glacier move downhill. Also, valley glaciers form a bowl shaped dent in a mountain called a cirque. I mostly knew the rest of the stuff the movie said.

  38. glacier video and quiz link is awesome

    ReplyDelete
  39. The video was good, it was informational and factitious. I learned how glaciers are formed.

    ReplyDelete
  40. I learned that the bottom layer is compressed then turns to putty

    ReplyDelete
  41. I learned the terms for different parts of glaciers

    ReplyDelete
  42. I learned that when they compress they from a putty like thing. I already knew all of the other Facts.

    ReplyDelete
  43. The video was good it had a lot of facts and it was kind of interesting. I learned that robots aren't supposed to go down mountains and that glaciers move slowly downhill.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I thought that the video was weird and that the facts in the video were very helpful even though they didn't really give me any new information.

    I really didn't learn anything new except for the little facts that they had in the quiz thingy at the end.:P:p:P:P:P:P

  45. glacers make the ground smooth

    ReplyDelete
  46. The movie was very informational. It told a lot about glaciers.
    One thing I already knew was glaciers are always moving, very slowly.
    One thing I learned was on a valley glacier there is a bowl shaped area called a cirque.

    ReplyDelete
  47. The video was weird and cartoony. But it was full of facts. The bottom layer turns turns to a putty like substance which makes it slide downhill.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I learned that the bottom layer of a glacier can melt and become like putty. I knew that they were slow

    ReplyDelete
  49. I already new that ice-glaciers were very big and that the move slowly and what I learned is that at the bottom it is all putty like that makes the glacier move slowly and that since it moves so slowly that it could only move 1 inch a year.Also that there is one mountain there is a bowl like shape called cirque.

    ReplyDelete
  50. theres stuff like silly puty on the bottom that maes the big thingyyy good

    ReplyDelete
  51. During the video I learned about the different types of erosion and what a glacier can cause.

  54. i already knew that glaciers are made out of ice

    ReplyDelete
  55. I knew that 20,000 years ago, much of North America was covered with ice.
    I did not know that Few agents of erosion are more powerful than a moving glacier and that Continental glaciers on Antarctica are so huge that entire mountain ranges are covered.

    ReplyDelete
  56. I already knew that glaciers are very large and move very slowly. I learned that there is stuff similar to silly putty on the bottom of the glaciers making the glaciers move very slowly.

    ReplyDelete
  57. I already knew that glaciers are very big. I didn't know that when snow falls on the ground it is downhill.

    ReplyDelete
  58. I learned that the bottom layer of a glacier is compressed into ice, then compressed more into a soft putty that helps the glacier move downhill. Also, valley glaciers form a bowl shaped dent in a mountain called a cirque. I mostly knew the rest of the stuff the movie said.

  59. i new glacier are very big . but did not know how they form.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I had already learned that glaciers move slowly, but what I learned is that when snow piles up the bottom layer turns into a type of slippery water and it starts sliding downhill. That is a glacier.

    ReplyDelete
  61. That little agents of eirions match a glacers and that they move when the ice under neithe becomes potty like.

    ReplyDelete
  62. I already knew that glaciers where made up of water and ice. But what I didn't know was that Glaciers started at the top of the mountain and move down the side.

    ReplyDelete
  63. I knew glacier's were made of ice but i learned that the bottom of the snow compressed together and made glaciers

    ReplyDelete
  64. I learned that the bottom of glaciers form a putty that helps it move. when snow falls it falls downhill. I new the rest of it

    ReplyDelete
  65. I already knew that Antarctica has glaciers.I also knew that the bottom layer of snow compresses into ice. I learned that valley glaciers form a bowl shaped dent in a mountain called a cirque.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Glaciers are slow moving mountains

    ReplyDelete

  67. I learned that glaciers can form on mountain tops, and that snow piles up and the bottom layer becomes ice.I knew that glaciers form i Antarctica, and that valley glaciers create grooves in the mountains.

    ReplyDelete
  68. I already knew that Glaciers came from Antarctica and that glaciers have layers of ice and snow built on top of each other. I learned that Glaciers can not just form in oceans but they can grow on high mountain tops and everything like that
