The mountain glaciers are formed over the snow border, in the middle band they are about 3000 m high, and in the tropical belt they are around 6000 m. The glaciers now occupy an area of ​​16.2 million km2, containing over 24 million km3 of water. Of these, 99% of their surface area is in the polar regions. The glacial waters have been circulating for 16,000 years.] The glaciers are formed as a result of the continuous fall of snow in different layers of a terrain.
