this science project sucks omg
What else can I help you with?
How do the glacier move?
They melt and then slide
How does a continental glacier form?
Snow along a broad plateau does not melt, but compacts into a glacier.
What is a glacial melt?
The water melting from a glacier is called the glacier melt. This water often supplies the water for some of the great rivers of the world, like the Ganges and the Yangtsee.
What is the temperature necessary for a glacier to melt?
A glacier is ice, which melts just above 0 Celsius or 32 Fahrenheit.
When new snow is added to a glacier faster than ice and snow melt does the glacier get larger or smaller?
When new snow is added to a glacier faster than the rate at which ice and snow melt, the glacier gets larger because the accumulation of new snow exceeds the loss from melting. This process contributes to glacier growth and expansion.
How long does a glacier take to melt?
It depends on conditions. A long period of above-average warm and dry weather can cause a glacier to shrink. As the ice gets thinner, the warm meltwater and increased exposure to rocks (which absorb sun energy) quickens the pace at which the glacier recedes.
How does a glacier affect landscapes outside of its active perimeter?
Melt water
What happen when glaciers melt a cirque?
What can happen when the glacier melts in a cirque
What causes a glacier to begin to melt?
Glaciers begin to melt due to increasing temperatures, either from natural climate variability or human-induced global warming. When temperatures rise, the ice in glaciers starts to melt, leading to the retreat and thinning of the glacier. Other factors, such as changes in precipitation patterns or albedo feedback, can also contribute to glacier melting.
How is glacier ice built?
It is built when winter snows do not melt the following summer.
How is a proglacial lake formed?
A proglacial lake is formed when glaciers melt, creating a body of water in front of the glacier. As the glacier retreats, it can leave behind depressions in the landscape that fill with meltwater. These lakes can also be dammed by moraines, which are accumulations of debris deposited by the glacier. The combination of glacial melt and the physical features left by the glacier leads to the formation of these lakes.
Why glacier do not melt and an ice cube melt quickly?
Ice cube melts but the glacier does not melt because depending upon the temperature of the surrounding. When an ice cube is taken out of the refrigerator, there is a sudden change in the temperature of the surrounding as it (temperature) increases so the ice cube depending upon the temperate of the surroundings melts earlier. According to the latent heat of fusion, it will first melt completely to become liquid and then its temperature will increase to reach a state of thermal equilibrium e of the room temperature. In case of a glacier, the temperature of its surroundings is less so a glacier does not melt like ice cube.
