In New Zealand there are Franz Josef glacier and Fox glacier
In the French Alps there is the Mer de Glace
The largest glaciers in the world are the ice sheets on Greenland, the second largest glacier in the world, and the ice sheet on Antarctica is the largest in the world.
glaciers are riveres of ice that moves very slowly.

What is a interaction between the cryosphere and hydrosphere?
To release fresh water into ocean water as icebergs melt. Because they are apart of heat.
Which Situation is a example of transferring heat by means of convection?
Picking up a hot soldering iron by the wrong end.
What is a cryoshpere?
collectively all the frozen water of earth is called as Cryosphere
What is the process called that moves water from bodies of water to the atmosphere?
Precipitation brings water from atmosphere to earth's surface. It brings water in the form of snow, sleet, rain and hailstone.
What is water vapor in the atmosphere called?
This is where we talk about the way water moves through the world. Water affects everything that happens in life. In Latin, "hydro" means water. Therefore, anything that scientists describe, when it comes to water, is a part of the HYDROsphere. That water may be at the bottom of the ocean or in the top layers of the atmosphere; it is all a part of the hydrosphere.
What is geosphere hydrosphere cryosphere atmosphere and biosphere?
atmosphere- earths air cryosphere- diffrent forms of water such as ice glaciers
How does the Cryosphere affect other spheres?
Part of the cryosphere (snow, for example) could melt in the spring, creating a huge runoff. Over 75% of the Colorado Rivers water comes from snowmelt in the Rockies. This water is used by people (biosphere), soaks into the ground, or causes erosion (geosphere), evaporates (atmosphere). The river itself is part of the hydrosphere.
What are the six spheres of Earth Science?
astrosphere (space), atmosphere (air), geosphere (rock, sediments), hydrosphere (water), cryosphere (frozen water), biosphere (living things)
What is hydrosphere-cryosphere?
If you combine hydrosphere, a sphere of water, with cryosphere, a cold sphere, you get a sphere of ice.
What are earths 5 spheres in order?
Hydrosphere- All of the water on Earth and everything in it Atmosphere- All the air on Earth and everything in it Biosphere- All living things on Earth Geosphere- All of Earth (land, landforms, rocks) Cryosphere- All ice on Earth Exosphere- Everything outside of Earth (space)
Does the cryosphere have snow on it?
The cryosphere is the sphere containing all frozen water - so yes, snow plays a large part in that.
What are the similarities and differences between the hydrosphere and cryosphere?
Hydrosphere and Cryosphere are similar as they are the form of WATER. Hydrosphere is made up of all the Earth's water and Cryosphere is just part of the hydrosphere but it's only made up of frozen water such as glaciers or ice caps. Hope this helped!
What are the spheres of the earth?
The 5 spheres on the Earth are; 1. Biosphere. 2. Atmosphere. 3. Lithosphere. 4. Hydrosphere. 5. Cryosphere.
What is carbon transferring from a body of water to the atmosphere called?
This movement is evaporation, and is part of the carbon cycle.
Which sphere contains all the frozen water on earth?
cryosphere
What is the cryospher?
The portion of the hydrosphere that is permanently frozen. For example, glaciers and permafrost.
Which part of the Earth system include the water in the everglades?
Hydrosphere or cryosphere?
