83. Glaciers: What Types Of Glaciers Are There?
    Types of glaciers. Ice Sheets. They form primarily in polar and subpolarregions, occupying high and relatively flat regions. Mountain glaciers.  
    http://www.digistar.mb.ca/minsci/geology/types.htm
    
    Extractions: Found only in Antarctica and Greenland, ice sheets are enormous masses of glacial ice and snow that cover over 50,000 square kilometers. The ice sheet on Antarctica is over 4200 meters thick in some areas, covering nearly all of the land features except the Transantarctic Mountains that poke up above the ice. Ice shelves occur when ice sheets extend over the sea, floating on the water. In thickness they range from a few hundred meters to over 1000 meters. Ice shelves surround the entire continent of Antarctica. The largest shelf is the Ross Ice Shelf , covering over 500,000 square kilometers. Ice caps are miniature ice sheets, covering less than 50,000 square kilometers. They form primarily in polar and sub-polar regions, occupying high and relatively flat regions. These glaciers develop in high mountainous regions, often flowing out of icefields that span several peaks or even a mountain range. The largest mountain glaciers are found in Arctic Canada, Alaska, the Andes in South America, the Himalayas in Asia, and on Antarctica. The Chickamin Glacier in British Columbia, Canada, is a typical mountain glacier. Several glaciers flow into it, and the landscape is nearly covered with ice and snow.(R.M.

    Extractions: The world's glaciers react to and interact with changes in global and regional climates. Most mountain glaciers worldwide have been retreating since the latter part of the 19th century; global sea level has risen about 10 centimeters during the past century. Glaciers vary in size as a result of several factors, of which climate variation is probably the most important. The reasons we are interested in glacier variation include its connection to climate change and to global sea level The present volume of the Earth's glacier ice, if totally melted, represents about 80 meters in sea-level rise. From minimum (an interglacial epoch) to maximum (an ice-age epoch) volume of glacier ice on the continents, sea level has a range of 200 meters. For example, during the last glacial peak, about 20,000 years ago, sea level is estimated to have been 120 meters lower than it is today. During a warmer climatic interval in the last interglacial period, 125,000 years ago, sea level was about 6 meters higher than it is today; during an even warmer interval 3 million years ago, sea level is estimated to have been 25 to 50 meters higher. Sea-level changes, especially in low-lying coastal areas and on islands, have significant effects on human activities and facilities. White areas show ice sheets and other glaciers around the world. The white spots in the oceans are islands where glaciers are found. Reproduced from National Geographic WORLD (February 1977, no. 18, p. 6) with permission.

Glaciers clung to the slopes of this mountain as recently as 5,000 years ago, a new study says. Story Tools RELATED The journal Geology LOS ANGELES, California (AP) Glaciers clung to the slopes of a mountain just 120 kilometers (75 miles) east of now-sweltering Los Angeles as recently as 5,000 years ago, according to a new study. The glaciers on San Gorgonio Mountain were likely the southwesternmost in what is now the United States during the waning of the last Ice Age, beginning 20,000 years ago. Lewis Owen, of the University of California, Riverside, said he and his colleagues found evidence that glaciers on the mountain made four advances over the last 20,000 years, the last between 9,000 and 5,000 years ago. The glaciers eventually vanished as global temperatures rose. Another scientist disputed the findings, saying the mountain's glacial past probably ended 12,000 years ago. Details appear in the August issue of the journal Geology.

    Extractions: Glaciers Continental glaciers are huge sheets of ice that cover large areas of land. Such ice sheets cover Antarctica and much of Greenland. Approximately one million years ago the climate cooled and similar ice sheets began to spread out over much of Canada. The snowfall increased and did not melt each summer. Up to 3 200 metres of snow accumulated and the lower levels were compressed into ice. The pressure of the ice generated heat which caused the ice to flow out in all directions from four centres. Over a period of thousands of years the ice gradually covered most of Canada. Fingers of the glaciers invaded lowlands and valleys first. Only a small area in the Yukon was not covered in ice; it did not receive enough snowfall. Over the Pleistocene epoch (or ice age) glaciers covered most of Canada except the highest mountains four times. The last glacier peaked 25 000 years ago and retreated from Southern Ontario 10 000 years ago. The Great Lakes are remanants of larger lakes that were formed as the glacier receded blocking drainage to the north. An area bounded by Ottawa, the eastern end of Lake Ontario, Lake Champlain and the City of Quebec was depressed by the weight of the glacier and was covered by the Champlain Sea. The sea drained as the land returned to its original elevation. Clay, silt, sand and gravel attached themselves to the bottom of the glacier which became like a giant scraper with a sheet of sandpaper attached to the bottom. Soft sedimentary rocks were removed creating hollows that are now lakes. Valleys were deepened and widened and all but the tallest mountain peaks were rounded off.

    Extractions: Prof. Stephen A. Nelson EENS 111 Tulane University Physical Geology Glaciers and Glaciation Glaciers constitute much of the Earth that makes up the cryosphere, the part of the Earth that remains below the freezing point of water. Most glacial ice today is found in the polar regions, above the Arctic and Antarctic Circles. While glaciers are of relatively minor importance today, evidence exists that the Earth's climate has undergone fluctuations in the past, and that the amount of the Earth's surface covered by glaciers has been much larger in the past than in the present. In fact, much of the topography in the northern part of North America, as well as in the high mountain regions of the west, owe their form to erosional and depositional processes of glaciers. The latest glaciation ended only 10,000 years ago. Definition of a glacier A glacier is a permanent (on a human time scale, because nothing on the Earth is really permanent) body of ice, consisting largely of recrystallized snow, that shows evidence of downslope or outward movement due to the pull of gravity.

    Extractions: Data collected from tropical ice fields near the world's highest capital, La Paz, show mass loss in the 1990s at rates 10 times greater than previous decades. If rising temperatures and low precipitation continue, many smaller glaciers will vanish in a decade, the researchers believe. Further ahead, the consequence could be water and power shortages for millions of Bolivians. Dangerous work Alvaro Soruco led the way across the Zongo glacier, cautiously poking the ground before him in search of deadly fissures that plummet deep into the dark heart of this slowly moving mass of ice.

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/3172572.stm
    
    Extractions: Thousands of people in the Andes mountains of Peru are having their lives affected in both a practical and cultural way by climate change, which is causing the region's glaciers to melt. The Andes glaciers are disappearing fast This is already having a major impact of some aspects of life for the people who live in the mountains - and the government of the country is worried that the situation could get much worse. In the last three decades, Peruvian glaciers have lost almost a quarter of their area. "This is an indicator which gave us some concern on how the future was going to be on these tropical glaciers," Patricia Iturregui, head of the Climate Change Unit of Peru's National Council for the Environment, told BBC World Service's One Planet programme. "All our estimations on the basis of this data are that in the next 10 years the top tropical glaciers of Peru - and eventually other Andean countries - above 5,500 metres will disappear if climate conditions remain as the last 10 years." Nasa fears The most immediate threat is coming from the change to water supplies in the area.
