What is glacier?
A glacier is a large, perennial accumulation of crystalline
ice, snow, rock, sediment, and often liquid water that
originates on land and moves down slope under the
influence of its own weight and gravity. Typically, glaciers
exist and may even form in areas where:

Frost action in soil , Organic soil, Peat
Frost action in soil refers to the processes and effects caused by the freezing and thawing of water
within the soil. When water freezes, it expands, exerting pressure on the surrounding soil
particles. This pressure can lead to the disruption of soil structure, causing heaving or lifting of
the soil surface. Repeated cycles of freezing and thawing can break down rocks and soil particles,
contributing to processes like frost heave, frost wedging, and ice segregation. These actions can
impact soil properties, causing soil to become more fragmented and potentially affecting its
permeability and fertility.
