🇬🇧🇪🇸 glacier - glaciar : English Lesson
noun
Meaning of "glacier" ("glaciar"), detailed definition, and a short video lesson below.
A glacier is a giant, super-thick river of ice that moves very slowly down mountains or across land in very cold places. It is made from tons of packed snow that has turned into solid ice over many years, and it is so heavy that it can scrape, push, and shape the ground and rocks as it creeps along.
The glacier moves so slowly that a sleepy turtle said, "Hurry up already!"
I told the glacier to chill, and it said, "That’s literally my entire personality."
If a snail rode on a glacier, the snail would be the sports car of the story.
The glacier was moving so slowly that a snowman built a house, got a job, and retired before it reached him.
Glaciers are so heavy that as they slowly slide, they carve deep valleys and lakes into the land—when they melt, those carved-out places can become real lakes where people swim and go boating.
An old farmer stood on the ridge as a glacier crept down the valley. The glacier pushed boulders, broke trees, and polished the rock face. Children ran beside the glacier's glassy ice, hands trembling with awe. This glacier slowed, settled, and laid a smooth path. The village sighed, grateful and small before the glacier.
