What is great sheets of ice called?
ice sheets
What are giant glaciers called?
Giant glaciers are called ice sheets. These massive expanses of ice cover large areas of land and are found in Antarctica and Greenland. Ice sheets can be several kilometers thick and have a significant impact on global climate.
What is the difference between glaciers ice sheets and ice fields?
valley glaciers are constrained by their surroundings. And ice sheets dont Ice sheets are large
Wind water and ice are causes of?
Wind, water, and ice are causes of weathering and erosion on Earth's surface. Wind erosion happens when wind carries and deposits sediment, water erosion occurs when flowing water wears away rocks and soil, and ice erosion occurs when glaciers and ice sheets move and shape the landscape.
What is the food web in the antarctic ice sheets?
There is no food web in Antarctica's ice sheets, cap or glaciers.
Are thick sheets of ice?
a thick sheet of ice
What are thick sheets of ice?
a thick sheet of ice
As ice sheets that covered North America thinned and melted following the end of the last ice age would the elevation of the land surface below the ice increase in elevation decrease or stay the same?
The elevation of the land surface below the ice would increase as the weight of the ice decreased. This process is known as isostatic rebound, where the land slowly rises as the weight of the ice is removed, similar to a sponge bouncing back after being compressed.
Is it true that Ocean levels rise during an ice age due to an increase in moisture retention in Earth's global biosphere?
No, ocean levels do not rise during an ice age due to an increase in moisture retention in Earth's global biosphere. During an ice age, water is locked up in ice sheets and glaciers, causing sea levels to drop. The lowered sea levels expose more land, which can lead to an expansion of ice sheets and further cooling.
What is Thick sheets of ice that can cover large areas of a continent are called ice caps or?
Thick sheets of ice that can cover large areas of a continent are called continental glaciers or ice caps. Examples of continental glaciers are in Antarctica and Greenland The ice sheets that form in these two locations are up to 3500 meters thick. thank you a lot
Broad thick sheets of ice that are common in Antarctica and Greenland are named what?
They are called ice sheets and/or continental glaciers if they cover more than 50,000 square kilometers of land area.continental
These sheets of ice break off the edge of antarctica?
Ice Flows or Ice sheets (For 5th grade Jump Start game it's iceflows)
