Ice streams are fast-flowing sections of ice within an ice sheet or glacier, where the ice moves more rapidly compared to surrounding areas. They are typically found in the interior of ice sheets and are crucial for transporting large amounts of ice toward the ocean. Ice streams can significantly influence sea level rise as they contribute to the calving of icebergs and the melting of ice at the ice-ocean interface. Their dynamics are affected by factors such as the underlying topography, temperature, and the presence of water at the glacier's base.
What else can I help you with?
How do desert streams differ from those in humid regions?
desert streams get flash floods more than the streams in the humid places.

Why don't most desert streams empty into the ocean?
Ephemeral deserts streams dry up before they reach the ocean
What is streams formed by melting ice when a valley glacier stops advancing called?
Meltwater streams formed by melting ice when a valley glacier stops advancing are called proglacial streams. These streams are commonly found at the terminus of a glacier where melting ice produces large volumes of water that flow down the valley.
Where does the fresh water come from?
The earth's fresh water is naturally occurring water that is in ice sheets, ice caps, glaciers, icebergs, bogs, ponds, lakes, rivers and streams, and underground as groundwater in aquifers and underground streams.
Where is fresh water found?
in the underground and rivers, streams ,lakes.
What are the rivers of ice in antarctica called?

Fresh Water is naturally occurring water on Earth's surface in ice sheets, ice caps, glaciers, icebergs, bogs, ponds, lakes, rivers and streams, and underground as ground water in aquifers and underground streams.
How river is form?
A river can form through ice melting from the mountains or through rainfall that collects in wetlands. Small streams that flow downhill join up and make larger streams which also combine to form rivers.
The also includes earths lakes rivers streams underground water and ice besides the ocean?
Please rephrase - the question is unclear.
What are the different types of glaciers?
Ice Sheets Ice Shelves Ice Caps Ice Streams/Outlet Glaciers Icefields Mountain Glaciers Valley Glaciers Piedmont Glaciers Cirque Glaciers Hanging Glaciers Tidewater Glaciers

What can streams create?
Delta streams
How are eskers formed and what geological processes contribute to their unique formation?
Eskers are formed by meltwater streams flowing within or beneath glaciers during the last Ice Age. As the glaciers melted, the sediment and rocks carried by the streams were deposited in long, winding ridges. The unique formation of eskers is primarily due to the deposition of sediment by these meltwater streams, as well as the reshaping of the landscape by the movement of the glaciers.
When was In Streams created?
In Streams was created in 2001.
