Heat transfer. Why does heat transfer happen? Heat is a type of energy called thermal energy. Heat can be transferred (moved) by three main processes:

 As much as plate tectonics builds up the Earth’s surface, forces in nature are also working to wear it down. One major force of erosion happens due.

Valley slope Ice temperature Basal conditions Variables that affect glacier flow: Valley slope Ice temperature Basal conditions

Glaciers Flow: Downhill (slope affects flow speed) Warmer ice flows faster Ice is brittle (crevasses) & ductile Basal characteristics are important (the presence of water at the bed)

How Ice Flows: Valley Slope Angle of PVC pipe 65° Steep 45° Medium 25° Shallow Valley Slope

How Ice Flows: Ice Temperature Flubber temperature warm ice normal cold Flubber microwaved until hot to touch Warm Ice (pink flubber) Flubber at room temperature Normal Ice (white flubber) Flubber placed in the freezer prior to class Cold Ice (blue flubber) Ice Temperature
