Erosion: Deposition: AIM: Erosional and Depositional systems

Form in high mountains where snow accumulates to sufficient depths so that it is compressed, compacted and recrystallized. For this reason glacial.

Glacial Processes and Landforms. What is a glacier? How do glaciers form?

Landforms Resulting from Fluvio Glacial Deposition What happens when the glacier melts?

What is a Glacier? REVIEW = An accumulation of compacted snow & ice

Glaciers and the Great Ice Ages. Pleistocene Epoch: the Great Ice Ages 2.0 Ma to 10,000 years ago Four (or more) distinct episodes expansion and melting.

Fluvio-Glacial Landforms. Fluvio-glacial landforms are landforms molded by glacial meltwater. There are 2 main fluvio-glacial features; 1)Outwash Plains.

Erosion and Deposition

Aim: What are Glaciers? I. Glacier – found at high altitudes and high latitudes. These are locations where more snow falls during the winter than melts.

Erosion and Deposition Erosion - Movement of weathered materials from one location to another.

Notes 4 – Erosion and Glaciers

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.

Glaciation 5th year Geography Ms Carr. Learning Intention Visualise what glaciation is. Name and briefly explain the formation of glacial landforms. Recognise.

2 Weathering, Erosion, Deposition, and Landscapes Weathering – the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces, called sediments. Erosion – the process where.

What is erosion? -Erosion is the removal of rock particles and soil from an area -Erosion requires energy (usually supplied by gravity)

Glaciers We wouldn’t be here without them.. A Glacier is an accumulation of snow that is large enough to survive the summer melt. These large ice masses.

Glaciers Erosion Day 2 Glaciers Cause Erosion While they may look like big solid masses frozen in place, glaciers are really "rivers of ice" slowly flowing.

Glacial Erosion and Deposition. Erosion Glaciers have the capacity to carry huge rocks and piles of debris over large distances They grind out parallel.

Erosion and Deposition by Glaciers Chapter 4: Topic 8.

Guided Notes For Glaciers Section 8.3. Glaciers shape the landscape by eroding, transporting, and depositing huge volumes of rock and sediment.

Geologic Features of Glaciation

Glacial Landscapes Glacier = large moving mass of ice. Glacier = large moving mass of ice. Glaciers erode, transport and deposit massive amount of sediment.

Unit 10 Deposition. The process by which sediments are released or dropped. Effects many people- beaches, mines, caves, flood plains, sedimentary rocks.

Glaciers & Glaciation. Glaciers Glacier: a large, long-lasting mass of ice, formed on land that moves under the influence of gravity and its own weightGlacier:

Two Different Types of Glacial Landforms: 1) Erosional; 2) Depositional.

Deposition. Particles dropped from an erosional system due to a decrease in velocity of the agent  Dominant agent of erosion is running water  Most.

LITHOSPHERE GLACIATION 1 Materials carried by the glaciers are deposited in two main ways;  Glacial Deposits (unsorted) and  Fluvio-glacial deposits.

External Forces that Shape the Earth. Erosion Occurs when weathered material is moved by the action of wind, water, ice, or gravity There are several.

How would Glacial and Glaciofluvial deposits differ? Glacial Till

Fluvioglacial outwash deposit

Glacial Deposits Fluvio-glacial Deposits (includes deposits once deposited by ice and re-deposited by meltwater) Unstratified (difficult to identify layers) Stratified (vertical layering due to seasonal variations in sediment accumulation) Unsorted (random sorting as ice melts and deposits material regardless of size) Sorted - larger rocks and boulders are deposited first as the meltwater looses energy. Material is angular, from physical weathering and erosion (unaffected by water) and various shapes and sizes (boulders - rock flour) Material is smooth and rounded (due to attrition), it is sorted and graded.

What do the graphs on Jokulhlaup’ s show?

How might these processes help to create a unique landscape for fluvio-glacial areas?
