PPT-Earthquakes, Glaciers and sediments, oh my!

Scientific investigation Collecting data Making observations catastrophic disturbances drawing conclusions using reasoning and logic Learning objectives What is sediment and how can you tell different types apart How is it made by rivers and glaciers. ?”. with Dr. Michael . Kaplan. Dr. Michael J Passow. Originally presented 25 Oct 2014. Glaciers. Two basic types:. Polar Ice Sheets—Antarctica and Greenland. Alpine/Mountain glaciers. Found today in all continents except Australia. January 21, 2011. . Glaciers act as agents of erosion and deposition to help to create unique landforms which you will study in this unit. Glacier. : A large mass of ice resting on land or floating as an ice shelf in the sea adjacent to land. 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 .
