The Clues Glaciers Left Behind! | Winter Science | SciShow Kids

The video explores glaciers, their formation, and impact on Earth's landscape. It explains how glaciers form, move, and shape the land, leaving behind clues like glacial striations and moraines. A model is created to demonstrate glacier movement, showing how they can carve out lakes and leave behind moraines. The video encourages viewers to explore their surroundings for glacial clues.
