1 Glaciers A large piece of ice that moves slowly over land and changes the surface beneath it

2 Glaciers A large piece of ice that moves slowly over land and changes the surface beneath it

3 Glaciers A large piece of ice that moves slowly over land and changes the surface beneath it

4 Lab Activity Describe the role of each item in the Glacier Lab Soap
Cup Sand

5 Glacier Vocabulary Examine the diagram on textbook page Complete the following What is the difference between plucking and abrasion? What is the difference between a valley glacier and a continental glacier? Define all terms found on the diagram on page 272. Valley Glaciers Continental Glaciers

6 Glacier Calving The breaking off of chunks of ice at the edge of a glacier. The ice piece usually crashes into the water nearby.’ The ice piece that breaks away is known as an iceberg.
