Question

The lowest layer of a glacier is generally _____.

A. ice
B. dirt
C. snow
D. liquid water

Answer 1

Ice

Step-by-step explanation:

If you dug down into the accumulation zone of a glacier, you would find three main layers. The top layer is snow that thickens further up the glacier. Below this layer is firn, a transitional layer between snow and ice, which is as hard as ice but not as dense. The deepest layer is ice.

Answer 2

A. Ice

Step-by-step explanation:

glaciers generally accumulate more snow ... and the buried layers slowly grow together to form a thickened mass of ice.
