Glacier From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Mouth of the glacier Schlatenkees near Innergschl¶Ÿ, Austria. This article is about the geographical formation. For the professional wrestler , see Ray Lloyd A glacier is a large, long-lasting river of ice that is formed on land and moves in response to gravity . A glacier is formed by multi-year ice accretion in mountainous or sloping terrain. Glacier ice is the largest reservoir of fresh water on Earth, and second only to the oceans as the largest reservoir of total water. Glaciers can be found on every continent except Australia Geologic features associated with glaciers include end, lateral, ground and medial moraines that form from glacially transported rocks and debris; U-shaped valleys and cirques cwms ) at their heads, and the glacier fringe , which is the area where the glacier has recently melted.

42. How Glaciers Form And Flow Information about the formation of glaciers and how they move. http://www.zephryus.demon.co.uk/geography/resources/glaciers/origin.html

How Glaciers Form And Flow Glaciers are more-or-less permanent bodies of ice and compacted snow that have become deep enough and heavy enough to flow under their own weight. Today, glaciers are found in mountainous regions or in the very cold areas around the poles, and cover only about 10% of the Earth's surface. During past glacial periods this area increased considerably so, although active glaciation is very limited in Europe now, and non-existent in the UK, much of the landscape of northern Europe shows evidence of past glacial activity. How glaciers form and flow Glaciers develop where the temperatures are cold enough to allow snow to accumulate over a period of years. Favourable conditions are found around the poles and at high altitudes in lower latitudes, i.e. mountainous regions such Northern Scandanavia and the Alps. Enough snow must fall each winter to ensure that it doesn't all melt in the summer. This way, the amount of snow lying on the ground gets deeper each year as new snow is added to the remains of last years fall. On north facing slopes it may survive all year without melting, whereas all the snow may melt on south facing slopes ( in the northern hemisphere ). This is because north facing slopes get much less direct sunshine than south facing ones, and thus remain cooler.

Valley Glaciers Valley glaciers Valley glaciers are streams of flowing ice that are confined within steep walled valleys, often following the course of an ancient river valley. The downward erosive action of the ice carves the valley into a broad U shape, in contrast to the steeper V shape that is produced during the early stages of erosion by rivers. A U shape valley with a flat floor is good evidence of the past glaciation of an area. U shaped valley with flat floor in the European Alps Valley glaciers usually start life in either corries or ice sheets. Glacial ice flowing down hill from either of these sources will follow any existing valleys or easy routes, eroding and enlarging them as it moves. Often several corrie glaciers will combine to feed a single valley glacier. In the photograph below, three small corries are feeding a small valley glacier Three corries feeding a valley glacier in a hanging valley In large systems, valley glaciers may join and form larger glaciers with much greater erosional power than they had as smaller individuals. As the main glacier erodes its valley downwards more quickly than surrounding valleys, they are left behind, finally becoming hanging valleys. Rock debris falls from the steep valley walls and litters the glacier surface. This occurs particularly along the edges, where rock debris builds up and is known as lateral moraine. Where two glaciers meet and flow into each other, the two edges where the meeting occurs become the centre of the new glacier. The two lateral moraines combine to form a medial moraine.

A little about the the fish we deliver: Fresh Seafood Often Costs Less Seafood Delivery - You don't have to live along the coast to get fresh seafood delivered to your door. Our seafood is caught fresh in the morning and shipped by us to Ohio the same day. And fresh often costs less. Having lived on the coast for 7 years, the love for the water, boats and seafood has stayed with us. Peddling seafood became a way to pay for part of our regular trips to the coast. As the years passed, many friends and fellow seafood lovers began to rely on our occasional run for fresh seafood. From the first trip, our standards have remained the same. We only buy fresh off the boats or we pass. Our catch is graded and packed on ice at the docks then brought home and typically distributed within 24 hours. After 27 trips and nearly seven thousand pounds of fresh seafood, we have realized the need for simple, fresh seafood delivery. Shellfish Fresh Gulf or Atlantic Shrimp Our tender shrimp are great for boiling, baking broiling, sautéing, steaming, deep frying, grilling and stir-frying.

The Topic: Glaciers Easier - Glaciers are rivers of ice that move very slowly. They can take a year to move as far as you can walk in a few minutes. When a piece of a glacier breaks off and floats in the water, it's called an iceberg. Harder - Glaciers form high in mountain valleys (valley glaciers) and in polar regions (continental glaciers) where the snow falls but never melts. The heavy snow crushes the layers below and forms a mountain of ice. As the glacier moves slowly down the mountain, it grinds against the ground and the walls of the valley to make it deep and wide. Glaciers cover about six million square miles which is about three percent of the earth's surface.

Newswatch Last Updated: Monday, 14 March, 2005, 01:10 GMT E-mail this to a friend Printable version Himalayan glaciers 'melting fast' The world's highest mountains hide vast glaciers Melting glaciers in the Himalayas could lead to water shortages for hundreds of millions of people, the conservation group WWF has claimed. In a report, the WWF says India, China and Nepal could experience floods followed by droughts in coming decades. The Himalayas contain the largest store of water outside the polar ice caps, and feed seven great Asian rivers. The group says immediate action against climate change could slow the rate of melting, which is increasing annually. "The rapid melting of Himalayan glaciers will first increase the volume of water in rivers, causing widespread flooding," said Jennifer Morgan, director of the WWF's Global Climate Change Programme. "But in a few decades this situation will change and the water level in rivers will decline, meaning massive eco and environmental problems for people in western China, Nepal and northern India." 'Catastrophe' The glaciers, which regulate the water supply to the Ganges, Indus, Brahmaputra, Mekong, Thanlwin, Yangtze and Yellow rivers are believed to be retreating at a rate of about 10-15m (33-49ft) each year.

A detailed study reported in Science magazine shows nearly 90% of the ice bodies streaming down from the mountains to the ocean are losing mass. But the authors - a joint team from the British-Antarctic and US-Geological Surveys - say the big melt could have a number of complex causes. Although higher air temperatures are a factor, they say, the full picture may go beyond just simple global warming. This study demonstrates the enormous importance of gathering long-term data Dr Andrew Sugden, Science magazine, "The overall picture is of glaciers retreating in a pattern that suggests the most important factor is atmospheric warming; we can connect the retreat with the observed warming recorded at climate stations along the peninsula," explained Dr David Vaughan, from the British Antarctic Survey (Bas). "But it's not a perfect fit; there seem to be other factors involved as well - possibly to do with changing ocean currents and temperatures," he told BBC News.

by Patrick M. Colgan, Department of Geology, Northeastern University Introduction Iceland is an excellent place to study glaciers and glacial landforms. In this satellite photo of southeastern Iceland you can see Vatnajökull, the largest ice cap in Europe. About 10% of the land area of Iceland is covered by glaciers. During the last Ice Age almost all of the country was covered by permanent snow and glacier ice. In this section you will learn about how glaciers form, how they are classified, and what types of landforms they create. A glacier is a thick mass of ice that forms from the compaction and recrystallization of snow. The ice in a glacier is moving under the force of gravity. Glaciers form in an area, simply because more snow falls in the winter than can melt in the following summer. This usually occurs in areas of high elevation and or high latitude. During the last Ice Age the conditions for glacier formation spread greatly over the Northern Hemisphere. The Formation of Glaciers Glaciers form in areas where more snow falls in winter than melts during summer. When temperatures remain below freezing following a snowfall, a fluffy accumulation of new snow soon begins to change. Evaporation and recondensation of water causes recrystallization to form smaller, thicker and more spherical grains of ice. This recrystallized snow is called
