Answer to Question 2

Part of each winter's snowfall remains unmelted and is buried by the snowfall of the next winter and so

and this ultimately produces a granular form of snow called firn. Continued compression drives out
trapped air and recrystallizes the firn into a dense mass of crystals known as glacial ice.
