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 Norway has:. Fjords. Glaciers. Rivers ,Streams and . Forests. Winter Olympics. F. jords. A . Fjord is a long narrow inlet of sea between two steep cliffs.. The coast of Norway has hundreds of rocky Fjords.. 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 . Chapter 7.1. At one time nearly 30% of the earth’s surface was covered in ice. . . This . period of time was referred to . as the . ice age. .. Today. , only . 10% of the earth’s surface is covered in ice. Katya . Hafich. Biological Science Initiative Science Squad 2012. University of Colorado at Boulder. What is a glacier?. A glacier is a large mass of ice that moves very slowly.. ://. geology.about.com. Ms. Martel. What Is A Glacier?. About 75% of Earth’s fresh water is frozen in glaciers.. A glacier is a large mass of compacted snow and ice that moves under the force of gravity.. Glaciers help to carve Earth’s landscapes as it erodes geological features in one place and then re-deposits the material elsewhere. . 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.. WED V17. What is a glacier?.
