Answer 1

would go in science but i will help

Answer 2

1. ablation (melting and sublimation)
2.ice
3.all

Answer 3

1. Ablation

2. Granular Snow

3. ablation, formation of firn, accumulation of snow and ice
(I do not believe that glaciation is an answer for number 3 because it is "the condition of being covered with glaciers or masses of ice; the result of glacial action". In other words, it is when a certain area is covered in snow or glaciers, and that is not really helpful in knowing how glaciers form.)
