What paleo climatic evidence for polar wandering?
Layers of glacial deposits are found at same place in sequence of rocksNote directions of glacial ice movement as indicated by striations or grooves in the rock
What are depressions left by melted blocks of ice in glacial deposits?
A kettle is a depression left by melted blocks of ice in glacial deposits.
What is A period when ice collects in high latitudes and move to lower latitudes is an?
An ice age. During an ice age, there is an accumulation of ice at the polar regions which then moves towards lower latitudes due to the Earth's climate and atmospheric conditions. This results in glaciation and the formation of ice sheets and glaciers in areas that are typically not covered in ice.
What is an upward rebounding of a coastline due to the melting of glacial ice called?
Glacial isostasy.
Under what circumstances will the front of the glacier advance Retreat Remain history?
Glacial advance and retreat is determined by the balance between the accumulation of snow and the removal of ice by sublimation, melting, and calving (ablation). When the rate of ablation below the snowline equal
Where is most accumulation of glacial ice found?
Mountains or near the poles
What is a glacial budget?
A glacial budget is essentially the balance of a glacier from the input of snow, ice, and water. Accumulation and loss of ice from melting are all data used to figure this budget.

Where is most of the earth's water in solid form found?
Glacial ice(A+):P
What is the root word of glacial?
The root word of "glacial" is "glacier," which refers to a slowly moving mass of ice formed by the accumulation and compaction of snow over long periods of time.
Can glacial ice form during the duration of a single winter season in most glacial areas?
No
What is the glacial period of history?
A glacial period is like the time of ice ages, when the most of the earth is covered in ice and snow.
What is the movement of glacial ice called?
[Glacial] flow
How does glacial ice differ from regular ice?
Glacial ice is much more solid then regular ice. Glacial ice is also alot colder than regular ice. Glacial ice can also be up to 1/2 a mile thick. Glaciation is aan extremly powerful force. 2. Glaciation happend very recently in geologic terms and there has not been enough time for the glacial features to be worn away.
Is glacial ice different from regular ice?
Yes. Glacial ice is ice that has been compressed under great pressure and will react differently as it melts.
What is unsorted rock material that is deposited by ice when the ice melts?
Glacial till or 'Moraine'.
Where is the thickest ice in the Antarctic?
The thickest ice is found in East Antarctica. For example, Lake Vostok, a sub-glacial lake found in East Antarctica has a surface measured at -1,640.4′.
