Presentation transcript:

GLACIERS What is a glacier? Large volume of ice on land Doesn’t melt in the summer Ice moves and flows with the pull of gravity What does it take? Very cold temperatures Water! (no glaciers in Siberia)

Continental Glacier 1-2 mile thick sheet of ice Covers large area of land Antarctica and Greenland Covered large parts of North America including New York State

Valley Glacier Is confined within a valley Found in mountain areas Alaska, Montana, Andes Mountains, Alps

How does a glacier erode? Like a bulldozer Scrapes off rock and soil Pile of jumbled sediments Unsorted & Unlayered

Valley Shape Rivers erode by downcutting creating canyons and V-shaped valleys Glaciers “bulldoze” through the landscape creating U-shaped valleys

Glacial Features – Valley Glacier

Arête

Cirque

Hanging Valley

U – Shaped Valley

Esker

Moraine Moraine (Till): Unsorted, unlayered mixture of sediment
