Accumulation will eventually cause ablation through calving. This has a negative effect on the ice shelf.
Mountains or near the poles
The ice is less dense than the ocean water.
To minimize the accumulation of ice on the roads.
The accumulation or snowfall rate needs to exceed the ablation which is the snow or ice melting rate in order for a glacier to advance or move forward. ~hope I'm right!
When there is another glaciation, water from the oceans will be locked up on land as ice. This will cause the sea levels to go down and more of the continental shelves will be exposed above sea level.
You can pick any two you want. From the Wikipedia entry: here is a list of the ice shelves, listed clockwise, starting in the West of East Antarctica. An ice sheet is included in the list: "Filchner Ice Shelf "Brunt Ice Shelf "Riiser-Larsen Ice Shelf "Quar Ice Shelf "Ekstrom Ice Shelf "Jelbart Ice Shelf "Fimbul Ice Shelf "Lazarev Ice Shelf "King Baudouin Ice Shelf "Hannan Ice Shelf "Zubchatyy Ice Shelf "Wyers Ice Shelf "Edward VIII Ice Shelf "Amery Ice Shelf "Publications Ice Shelf "West Ice Shelf "Shackleton Ice Shelf "Moscow University Ice Shelf "Voyeykov Ice Shelf "Cook Ice Shelf "Slava Ice Shelf "Gillett Ice Shelf "Nansen Ice Sheet "McMurdo Ice Shelf "Ross Ice Shelf "Swinburne Ice Shelf "Sulzberger Ice Shelf "Nickerson Ice Shelf "Getz Ice Shelf "Dotson Ice Shelf "Crosson Ice Shelf "Cosgrove Ice Shelf "Abbot Ice Shelf "Venable Ice Shelf "Stange Ice Shelf "Bach Ice Shelf "George VI Ice Shelf "Wilkins Ice Shelf "Wordie Ice Shelf "Jones Ice Shelf "Müller Ice Shelf "Prince Gustav Ice Shelf "Larsen Ice Shelf (Larsen A and B) "Ronne Ice Shelf"
The Ross Ice Shelf -- about the size of France -- floats on ocean water and is roiled by wave action. This may cause cracks.
the Ross ice shelf
an ice shelf is a shelf of ice, which is floating on the water. There are several large ice shelves around Antarctica.
The Ross ice shelf.
the Ross ice shelf
A few are named below: Ross ice shelf Ronne/Filchner ice shelf Riiser-Larsen ice shelf Larsen ice shelf
A few of Antarctica's ice shelfs are as named below: Ross ice shelf Ronne/Filchner ice shelf Riiser-Larson ice shelf Larsen ice shelf
The Ronne ice shelf
The Ross ice Shelf is a floating ice shelf connected to the Antarctic continent, that is about the size of France. The ocean under the shelf has never been explored.
The Amery Ice Shelf
The Ross Ice Shelf -- as large as France, is one, and another is the Ronne Larsen Ice Shelf.
