Describe how glaciers fit into the hydrologic cycle. What role do they play in the rock cycle?
What will be an ideal response?
In the hydrologic cycle, when precipitation falls at high elevations or high latitudes, the water may become part of a glacier, where it can be stored as glacial ice for tens, hundreds, or even thousands of years. In the rock cycle, the moving mass of ice scours the land surface, acquiring, transporting, and depositing great quantities of sediment.
