Glaciers

When multiple glaciers start their downward flow from a single point, they create a land feature known as a "paternoster lake" if they form a series of small lakes, or a "glacial cirque" if they carve out a bowl-shaped depression. This formation is typically characterized by steep cliffs and a rugged terrain shaped by the erosive power of the glaciers. The converging flow can also lead to the development of a "horn" or "arete" if the surrounding peaks are shaped by glaciers.

alpine glaciers

A mass of rocks and sediment is left as the glacier retreats, forming what is known as moraine.

What can happen when the glacier melts in a cirque

Sometimes the water hit parts of the glaciers that would get it dirty. The water is also dirty because there is dirt and thins fall into the water that is dirty. Or maybe when the rocks under the snow goes down the hill it leaves the dirt behind.

A boulder left behind by a retreating glacier is known as an erratic. A glacier is a moving river of ice and snow.

No. The last glaciers in Pennsylvania melted about 12,000 years ago.

Floating Icebergs

I have this for homework but umm this is the answer if u need help.

The land might look different because glacier might melt on land

and freeze the whole place. Also the climate might get to cold the

place will be slippery.

Icebergs were once part of a glacier. To better understand an iceburg, one must know what a glacier is made from. When the temperature is low enough that the sun doesn't melt snow, the snow then accumulates on top of itself, compressing and eventually hardening to become a glacier. The edges of the huge glaciers have ice shelves where the glacier itself meets the ocean and parts of the glacier float. These can break off to form icebergs when the waves from the ocean erosion on the thinner stretches of the ice shelf.

A hollow drill is used to collect samples of glacial ice. Ice accumulates in yearly layers, much like the rings on a tree, and the age of the ice can sometimes be found by simply counting the rings when the ice was recently formed and the impurities in the air left distinct differences in the color or transparency of the annual ice deposits. The age of older ice, which is deeper and under higher pressure due to the mass of the ice on top of it, cannot be calculated visually or with accuracy. The age may be estimated by the presence of volcanic ash that can be correlated to known eruptions, by ice flow rates, and by other chemical and composition changes resulting from temperature variations. Glacial ice accumulation rates based on climatology data may include temperature variations during Earth's many known cycles of global warming and cooling over thousands of years.

create a moraine

Glacier landscapes are characterized by U-shaped valleys, rugged terrain, and sharp peaks due to the slow movement and erosion of ice. Landscapes formed by water, such as rivers and streams, typically have V-shaped valleys, gentle slopes, and rounded features due to the faster flow of water and erosion. Glaciers tend to create more rugged and angular landscapes compared to water.

yes they do

Valley Glaciers :)

Glaciers have shaped the landscape of Wisconsin in a number of ways. For example, the irregular landscape and boundaries of the state are a direct result of glacial melting.
