Glaciers are classified into warm glaciers, which exist on the surface and inside the glacier because of their relatively warm climate, and cold glaciers, which are cold and dry. The water at the bottom of the glacier acts as a lubricant and has a significant effect on the flow characteristics of the glacier.
