Hanging Valleys
recessive, receding
Glaciers grow when accumulation of snow and ice exceeds melting and sublimation, typically in colder climates with sufficient precipitation. Conversely, they recede when warmer temperatures lead to increased melting, especially during summer months, or when there is a reduction in snowfall. Climate change, particularly global warming, has accelerated glacier retreat in many regions by altering temperature and precipitation patterns. Additionally, changes in local conditions, such as volcanic activity or shifts in wind patterns, can also affect glacier dynamics.
The gouging of bedrock by rock fragments dragged by glaciers results in the formation of grooves, scratches, and striations on the surface of the bedrock. These features, known as glacial striations, provide evidence of the direction and movement of past glaciers. These marks can also help geologists determine the extent and timing of glacial activity in an area.
Iceland is known as the Land of Fire and Ice because it has a combination of active volcanoes and glaciers. The geothermal activity in Iceland results in geysers and hot springs, while its glaciers cover a significant portion of the country.
recede-to go or move away; retreat; go to or toward a more distant point; withdrawl. (This is fom dictionary.com)
Hanging valleys are formed when smaller glaciers flowing from tributary valleys join a larger glacier in a main valley. As the larger glacier is more powerful, it erodes the main valley deeper than the tributary valleys. This results in the tributary valleys being left at higher elevations once the glaciers retreat, creating the characteristic "hanging" appearance.
he had recede hair.
Receded is the past tense of recede.
The tide will begin to recede shortly.
I am waiting for the tide to recede.
Recede means to move away; if it's recede into the background, you could use "fade."
The Vicar's hair line is beginning to recede.
A medial moraine is formed by deposition. It is a ridge of glacial debris that runs down the center of a glacier where two tributary glaciers merge. The debris is deposited as these glaciers flow and carry rock material with them, which accumulates in the center of the combined glacier.
The time period between ice ages is called an interglacial period. It is a warmer period in Earth's climate cycle when glaciers recede and temperatures rise.
Recede means to pull back or to withdraw
