1. where are glaciers found today? what percentage of earth’s land surface do they cover? 2. describe how glaciers fit into the hydrologic cycle. what role do they play in the rock cycle? 3. list and briefly distinguish among four types of glaciers. 4. what is the difference between an ice sheet and an ice shelf? how are they related?

Explanation:

1) Glaciers are found in the Antarctica and Greenland, but Glacier are found on every continent. In the United States, they are found in states of Washington, California, Colorado and so on.

2) Glaciers play a role in the rock cycle by being dynamic erosion agents that accumulate, transport and deposit sediments.

b) They play a role in the hydrological cycle when precipitates which falls at high elevations does not immediately make its way towards the sea.

3) Valley Glacier

4) An Ice sheet is also known as a continental glacier. It is a large that covers about 18,000 sq ml, while ice shelf are firmly attached to the land.
