What else can I help you with?
An area where a glacier has just melted away will begin the process of what?
An area where a glacier has just melted away will begin the process of glacial rebound, where the land rebounds or rises due to the removal of the weight of the glacier. This process can lead to changes in topography, drainage patterns, and ecosystem dynamics in the area.
What causes a glacier to begin to melt?
Glaciers begin to melt due to increasing temperatures, either from natural climate variability or human-induced global warming. When temperatures rise, the ice in glaciers starts to melt, leading to the retreat and thinning of the glacier. Other factors, such as changes in precipitation patterns or albedo feedback, can also contribute to glacier melting.
Can you name four NZ glaciers?
* Franz Josef Glacier * Fox Glacier * Tasman Glacier * Hukawai Glacier * Haast Glaciers
What is a growing glacier different from a melting glacier?
A melting glacier gets smaller, but a growing glacier gets bigger.
What is a glacier snout?
A glacier snout is the terminus or end point of a glacier where ice and meltwater are released. It is where the glacier meets lower elevations and warmer temperatures, causing melting and ice loss. The snout can vary in shape and size depending on the glacier's dynamics.
What are some glaciers that begin with the letter P?
Penck Glacier (Tanzania); Pine Island Glacier, Polar Times Glacier, Priestley Glacier (Antarctica); Panchchuli Glacier, Pindari Glacier (India); Panmar Glacier, Passu Glacier (Pakistan); Pasterze Glacier (Austria); Platigliole Glacier, Praz-SecGlacier, Presena Glacier (Italy); Peyto Glacier, Pemberton Icefield (Canada); Pico de Orizaba, Popocatépetl, Glacier (Mexico); Portage Glacier, Princeton Glacier (Alaska); etc
Where does the River Ganges begin?
In the Himalayan mountains, from the Gangotri glacier.
What could begin after a glacier melts?
the great lakes or just lakse
When does gravity begin to pull a glacier downhill?
When the weight of snow and ice is great enough the glacier starts moving downhill under the influence of gravity. This point is determined by the relationship between accumulation and wastage of the glacier.
An area where a glacier has just melted away will begin the process of what?
An area where a glacier has just melted away will begin the process of glacial rebound, where the land rebounds or rises due to the removal of the weight of the glacier. This process can lead to changes in topography, drainage patterns, and ecosystem dynamics in the area.
Which came first the snowfield or the glacier?
A snowfield typically forms before a glacier. Snow accumulates on high-altitude areas, gradually turning into firn (a type of compacted snow). Over time, the firn transforms into glacial ice, leading to the development of a glacier.
What causes a glacier to begin to melt?
Glaciers begin to melt due to increasing temperatures, either from natural climate variability or human-induced global warming. When temperatures rise, the ice in glaciers starts to melt, leading to the retreat and thinning of the glacier. Other factors, such as changes in precipitation patterns or albedo feedback, can also contribute to glacier melting.
When does the snow and ice that make up glacier begin to move downhill?
Once snow and ice reach more than 30 to 40 meters gravity begins to pull the glacier downhill.I hope I helped you!!! =)
What are some names of glaciers in Washington?
* Fryingpan Glacier * Nisqually Glacier * Paradise Glacier * Pyramid Glacier * Puyallup Glacier * South Tahoma Glacier * Tahoma Glacier * Success Glacier * Sarvent Glacier
Is the snowball glacier continental glacier or valley glacier?
It is a valley glacier
Is glacier canyon a real glacier?
No, a glacier canyon is not a real glacier. A glacier canyon is a canyon formed by the movement of a glacier over time, carving out the landscape as it flows.
How does glacial erosion begin?
Glacial erosion requires movement. Thus, glacial erosion begins as soon as the glacier starts moving.
