Unit 1: Land and Water Forms Glaciers as Agents of Erosion

Ch 15: p  Enormous masses of moving ice created by the accumulation and compaction of snow.  Powerful agents of erosion ~ have carved some.

Glaciers Glaciers formed much of the landscape that exists presently in the northern United States and elsewhere in the world. Glaciers Today, scientists.

GLACIERS AND GLACIATION. GLACIER A body of ice Formed on land Recrystallization of snow=> Firn => Ice Evidence of movement Alpine (valley) glaciation.

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.

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

How do Glaciers Effect the Land? By erosion & deposition.

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.

Glaciers Section 9.4. Glaciers are any large mass of ice that moves over land Continental Glaciers - cover much of a continent or large island (10% of.

Erosional Features of Glaciers Striations: Scratches or grooves carved into bedrock by processes of glacial abrasion.

Erosional Features of Glaciers Molded Wall: Lateral glacial abrasion has smoothed this metamorphic rock along the valley side. The flow lines indicate a downward direction.
