Glaciers

Glaciers are large, dynamic bodies of ice that form over long periods of time when snow accumulation exceeds ice ablation. They are among the most significant forces shaping Earth's landscape over long time scales. Glaciers are currently found at Earth's poles and in mid-latitude and equatorial mountains.

How big is the Hubbard Glacier?

The Hubbard Glacier in Alaska is about 76 miles long and covers a surface area of around 1,350 square miles. It is one of the largest tidewater glaciers in North America, with its terminus reaching up to 400 feet in height above the water and extending 300 feet below the water's surface.

What are the 3 physical properties of a glacier?

The three physical properties of a glacier are mass (amount of ice it contains), volume (total space occupied by the ice), and flow (movement or deformation due to gravity).

Is it possible that fate exists?

I believe we are in fact all manifestations of one "divine rule" that governs all in existence and this means that although we are guided by laws both physical and non-physical, we are an expression of that law and therefore are that law . yes some times some things r ment to be but u cant leve ur life and decitions to it.u are in controle of ur life and u call the shots even if fate lends a helping hand once in a wile!

YOUR ADVISOR

AnswerNo - we have free will, and all else is under the will of God. AnswerThere are three possibilities:

1) There is only physical reality, and everything is predetermined by physical interactions between matter. Everything is fated, and you have no free will - the universe is like a big windup toy.

2) There is only physical reality, and everything is determined by probabilistic interactions on the quantum level. There is no fate, and you have no free will - the universe is essentially random.

3) There is more than physical reality, and we have free will in a meaningful sense. There is no absolute fate - circumstances may be arranged or directed by some Higher Power, but you ultimately determine your actions.

There is no way to prove which choice is correct, but life is only meaningful if we accept option #3. Science currently goes with #2.

What was happening around the world in 100 BC?

Around 100 BC, the Roman Republic was in the midst of expansion, with Julius Caesar and Pompey emerging as prominent figures. In China, the Han Dynasty was flourishing under Emperor Wu. Meanwhile, in Central America, the Maya civilization was developing advanced agricultural techniques and building impressive pyramids.

What is a feature formed by tributary glacier?

I know three: morains (a hill of dirt and rocks where the glacier stopped moving and then melted), carved valleys that are U-shaped vs. those valleys cut by a stream or river, rocks that are very smooth because of the ice and rocks they slid over.

A thermos contains 150 cm3 of coffee at 85 C To cool the coffee you drop two 11-g ice cubes into the thermos The ice cubes are initially at 0 C and melt completely What is the final temperature of the?

The final temperature of the coffee in the thermos after the ice cubes melt can be calculated using the principle of conservation of energy. The heat lost by the coffee as it cools down will be equal to the heat gained by the ice cubes as they melt. By applying this principle along with the specific heat capacities of water and ice, you can determine the final temperature of the coffee.

Could a glacier leave behind petrified wood?

No, a glacier would not be able to leave behind petrified wood. Petrified wood forms when wood is buried underground and minerals slowly replace the organic material, a process that takes thousands to millions of years. Glaciers can transport and erode materials, but they do not create petrified wood.

What is the name of the angel of death?

The angel of death is known as Azrael in Islamic and Jewish traditions. In Christianity, the concept of the angel of death is not as prominent, but the role is sometimes associated with the archangel Michael.

What nation is called Land of Fire and Ice because of its geysers and glaciers?

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.

Why do glaciers move?

there could be a no. of reasons why do glaciers move,but i just wanna say that glaciers move because of the sheer weight of a thick layer of ice and the fact that it deforms as a "plastic" material, combined with gravity's influence, and causes glaciers move slowly. then they rush down the mountain valley and this causes glaciers move faster. they are formed big rivers after they rush down the valley.

Describe the features of Moai?

Moai is an open-source 2D game engine that supports both Lua and C++ programming languages. It provides developers with tools for cross-platform development, easy integration of third-party libraries, and a component-based architecture for flexible game design.

What are the coordinates for Mt Rainier?

Mount Rainer's coordinates are 46.8533 North, 121.7599 West

How long does it take for a glacier to form?

Glaciers typically form over thousands of years as snow accumulates and compacts into ice. The exact time it takes for a glacier to form can vary depending on factors such as snowfall rates, temperature, and geographical location.

Where is the Franz Josef Glacier?

Many millenia, but the face at the lower altitude is older. They are a good way inland now, but some of the glaciers, I think, the neighbouring Fox Glacier, went all the way down to the sea on the West Coast of South Island New Zealand when Captain Cook was there around the 1700s.

How are icebergs formed?

It's when a glacier or ice shelf has allot of pressure on it, and breaks. The chunk of ice floats in open water and it is an iceberg.

(Icebergs are pieces of Antarctica's ice sheets which break/melt off overtime. So, icebergs are really formed because of Antarctica.) Yes but not just Antarctica - they form wherever a glacier enters the sea
An iceberg is a large piece of fresh water ice that has broken off from a glacier or ice shelf that is then able to float freely in open water. They vary tremendously in size. The largest to date was about 12,000 square miles in size; larger than Belgium. Paraphrased from WikiPedia. See link for more.

How can you identify the deposited materials that were left there directly by a glacial ice deposits?

You can identify deposited materials left by glacial ice deposits based on their composition, size, and sorting. Glacial deposits often consist of a mix of sediment sizes (clay to large boulders), show little sorting, and may have scratches or striations caused by the movement of ice. Additionally, the presence of erratics (rocks different from the surrounding material) can also indicate glacial deposition.

Who was the man or woman that the Chamberlin Glacier was named after?

Thomas Chrowder Chamberlin, a geologist, was an expert on glaciers in the 1800s. Chamberlin went to Greenland in 1894 with the Peary Auxiliary Expedition. He was a professor at Beloit College in Wisconsin and is known for taking part in the Geological Studies of Wisconsin. His terminology for the stages of glaciers is still used. He was an early proponent of the theory of climate change. He was married In 1867 to Alma Isabel Wilson of Beloit. His son, Rollin Chrowder Chamberlin, wrote a biograhpical memoir for the NSA in 1932.

I am in love and time has been passing so slowly and I can't stop thinking about her especially with the slow time - is this normal?

How do glaciers form?

Glaciers form from the accumulation of snow when it exceeds the melting rate. The pressure of overlying snow causes it to change to solid ice. Eventually, gravity will cause it to move downward or outward from its own weight. Also, melting glaciers can cause glacial lakes to become too full of water and cause them to breach their natural boundaries, flooding the villages below.

Reasons for gradation of glaciers?

Being made of ice, glaciers retreat when the rate of melt exceeds the rate of growth. That is, of course, the simple answer. Scientists seem to agree that the retreat of glaciers is directly connected with global warming. It also appears that the process is accelerating inasmuch as surface water on glaciers remains unfrozen.

How are glaciers formed?

Glaciers are formed when snow accumulates over time, compresses into ice, and begins to flow under its own weight. This gradual process of snow compaction and ice formation creates thick masses of ice that move downhill due to gravity. Glaciers are typically found in polar regions, high mountains, and other cold environments where snowfall exceeds melting.

Is a glacier composed of cells?

Glaciers are not composed of cells; they are composed of H2O molecules. Only living things, such as plants and animals, are composed of cells.

What glaciers are near Valdez?

I'll just name a handful of them. Or atleast the ones you can usually see. The Worthington Glacier on the Richardson Highway, The Valdez Glacier down Airport Road, Shoup Glacier in Shoup Bay, Anderson Glacier (you can see coming over a mountain) Columbia Glacier and Mears Glacier you can view if you take a Stan Stephens or Lu Lu Belle cruise out of Valdez or take your own boat out.
