Tuesday: Frozen water

Nova shows a picture of a giant river of ice.

It fills a whole mountain valley.

"Is that a frozen river?" Rocket asks.

Raven looks at the cracks and lines. "What do you notice?"

Nova sparkles. "Hint: it is called a glacier, and it moves very slowly."

Water as ice

Water can be a solid or a liquid.

Solid water is ice.

A glacier is a huge mass of ice.

Glaciers slowly flow downhill.

Most of Earth’s fresh water is frozen in ice and glaciers.

Near the North Pole, thick ice floats on the Arctic Ocean.
