Accumulation will eventually cause ablation through calving. This has a negative effect on the ice shelf.
During an ice storm, ice accumulation on power lines can weigh them down and cause them to break. Additionally, ice can cause tree branches to break and fall onto power lines, disrupting the flow of electricity. These conditions can lead to widespread power outages.
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.
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!
An iceberg is a large piece of ice that breaks off from an ice shelf and drifts in the ocean. They can vary in size from small chunks to massive blocks of ice.
The most accumulation of glacial ice is found in Antarctica. This icy continent holds about 90% of the world's freshwater ice and has an average ice thickness of around 1.6 km (1 mile).
An ice shelf is a floating platform of ice that forms where a glacier or ice sheet flows down to a coastline and onto the ocean surface. The thickness of ice shelves can range from about 100 to 1000 meters (328 to 3280 ft).
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
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
Some notable ice shelves in Antarctica include the Ross Ice Shelf, the Filchner Ice Shelf, and the Larsen Ice Shelf. The Ross Ice Shelf is the largest, while the Larsen Ice Shelf is known for its significant ice loss in recent years. Other examples include the Amery Ice Shelf and the Ronne Ice Shelf. These ice shelves play a crucial role in stabilizing the Antarctic ice sheets.
The Ronne ice shelf
During an ice storm, ice accumulation on power lines can weigh them down and cause them to break. Additionally, ice can cause tree branches to break and fall onto power lines, disrupting the flow of electricity. These conditions can lead to widespread power outages.
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.
