GLACIERS OF GLACIERS OF SWEDEN By VALTER SCHYTT 1 2 Abstract The most recent glacier inventory lists a total glacier area for Sweden of 314 square kilometers. The first glaciological were made in Glacial Ice. . Once . glacial ice exceeds a thickness of about 150 feet, the weight of the overlying ice causes . the . base of . the glacier . to become plastic and flow like a very viscous liquid. While the bottom ice responds as a plastic solid, the surface ice is very brittle. However, from the surface down to the top of the plastic portion of the glacier, the ice experiences a decrease in . Fire . region, Oregon Cascades. Tyler Roses. Why are snow studies important?. Snow is an important part of the hydrological cycle. In regions like the Pacific Northwest more than 50% of annual precipitation in mountainous regions comes in the form of snow. 5.7B. Thinking About Glaciers. Glaciers cover about one-tenth of the Earth’s surface. Most of the fresh water found on the Earth is frozen in glaciers.. Glaciers move very slowly and can cause very slow changes to the Earth’s surface.. Section 1: Glaciers – Moving Ice. Section 2: Glacial Erosion and Deposition. Section 3: Ice Ages.

When you take a handful of snow and squeeze it, you are creating a product that is similar to that of glaciers. . Glacier: fast moving, large mass of ice. . Do Now:.
