Huge glaciers at the base of major rivers

The great rivers of Vishva originate from high and snowy mountains. At the root of the river there is ice in the form of sheela. It is called Himashila or Glacier. Huge glaciers contain millions of liters of water. But it slowly melts into a river

It flows over the mountain and flows down to the sea. Snow falling from the mountain slides down in the form of snow.

99% of fresh water on earth is stored in various glaciers. Glaciers occur in the Himalayas, the Andes and the mountains of Mexico, Africa.

Scientists have classified different types of glaciers. Glaciers on slopes are called Circi, glaciers descending into valleys are called valley glaciers and glaciers in the Alps are called mountain glaciers. Glaciers covering more than 5000 square kilometers are called ice sheets or continental glaciers. Both polar regions have these glaciers. It takes hundreds of years for a glacier to form. As weight increases, it drifts down. The descent down the glacier is slow to begin. It moves 150 to 160 feet per year. As it descends, its speed increases. A glacier means a snow storm. Carves mountains and breaks rocks. Alaska is a land of glaciers.
