The amount of water on the planet stays the same. If huge amounts of this water is frozen on land, in glaciers, then it means that there is less water in the oceans, and sea levels are lower.
When glaciers grow, they typically store more water as ice, which leads to a decrease in global sea levels. This occurs because the water that would otherwise contribute to sea levels is trapped in the ice. Conversely, when glaciers melt, this process releases stored water back into the oceans, causing sea levels to rise. Therefore, the balance between glacier growth and melting is crucial for determining global sea levels.
Yes, because the gather of snow fall.
With so little precipitation, it is difficult for glaciers to grow more quickly. What this also means is that the existing glaciers are millions of years old.
Glaciers grow larger and advance when accumulation of snow and ice exceeds melting and sublimation. This typically occurs in colder climates where temperatures remain low enough to prevent significant melting, especially during summer months. Additionally, increased snowfall can enhance accumulation, while factors such as elevation and latitude also influence glacier growth. These conditions create a positive mass balance, leading to the forward movement of glaciers.
When glaciers move as they grow, they grind the ground and rock underneath them. These pieces are pushed forward while they grow. When they final begin to melt, the water that is in the glaciers flows out from underneath them. This often carried sand and small bits of gravel. As they melted further and faster, larger gravel and stones wash out. Finally very large rocks and boulders are left behind. All of these are called deposition.
Puppies have baby teeth like humans. As they grow they need larger teeth so he/she will grow permanent teeth soon.
Glaciers usually grow in Alaska. Though they are found in mountain ranges. The weirdest part is glaciers can grow in every single continent but, Australia. In the tropics glaciers occur only on high mountains.
they melt and put water in the valleys and they grow
Antarctica is a desert with about five percent humidity. This means that very low amounts of moisture are available to be frozen into glaciers.
No. There were no humans when it was the time of glaciers and it will be thousands of years before man learns to farm.
In global warming, the glaciers would melt, then they would flow into the ocean, then they could affect ocean currents, changing the climate, in some areas. And with global cooling, there would be more glaciers, depleting the ocean waters.
you can.t you have to grow them you grow then in the summer then they grow in the fall
