Glaciers & Glaciation Geography 12

What is this big rock? How did it get there? Picture #1

What do you see? What formed this landscape? Picture #2

What process caused these marks on the rocks? Picture #3

What do all three of these photos have in common?

The answer is… The commonality between the three is, “Glaciation” These landforms were all formed by processes that occur with glaciation. Did you know? Glacier comes from the french word: glah-say, meaning ice.

Two Types of Glaciation are Defined by Physical Geographers The division is made by the topography in which they occur: A. Continental B. Alpine Picture right: Lake Louise Glacier. Is it A or B?

Continental Glaciation Can be defined as: continuous major sheets of ice spread out over plains & lowlands Facts: a. much larger than alpine glaciers b. small continental glaciers are called “ice fields” whereas larger ones are called “ice sheets”

Alpine Glaciation This type of glaciation will be throughly explained and shown to you by Vita and Meaghan
