  1. Glaciers are big chunks of ice that move very slowly, a few inches per year.  Ice caps are stationary.


  2. Ice caps are smaller dome-shaped sheets of ice that cover a mountain.The sheets of ice over Antarctica and greenland are also called ice caps.Ice caps form gradually by accumulation  as snow falls,stays frozen and is compacted by the addition of new snow.

    A glacier is a thick mass of accumulated ice, that moves ,or flows,downhill under the force of gravity.Glaciers are produced when layers of snow are compacted in icy mountain regions to form rivers of ice which slowly creep downhill until they melt.
