Why is is that a lot of people would get stuck in the glacier during our activity?
Because it is like the real water cycle. It takes a lot to melt a glacier to get it to move to a different place in the cycle.
Clouds form when water vapor ________________. (be specific)
loses energy to the colder surrounding air.
