Tricky online application question, what would you answer?

Glaciers begin to form where snow remains year-round and enough of it accumulates to transform into ice. New layers of snow compress the previous layers and this compression forces the icy snow to re-crystallize, forming grains similar in size and shape to cane sugar. Gradually the grains grow larger and the air pockets between the grains get smaller, meaning that the snow slowly becomes more dense. After about two winters, the snow turns into firn, an intermediate state between snow and ice. Over time the larger ice crystals become more compressed and even denser, this is known as glacial ice. Glacial ice, because of its density and ice crystals, often takes a bluish or even green hue.

Does snow fall every year in areas where glaciers form?

Yes

No

I don't know

[sketchy]

Not necessarily, but in practice yes, it probably does. Antarctica is technically classified as a desert because it receives so little precipitation (incl. snow), but still has glaciers because what snow there is doesn't melt.

No. Areas with glaciers are typically too cold to precipitate.

Well yes, but I think* the point to me was that it never actually says it snows every year, even though it implies it. Still, a bit funny for a simple retail job! haha

I didn't read the entire thing, sorry. Yes, very strange, but it's to see how well the employees pay attention and use logic.
