Fluvio-Glacial Landforms. Fluvio-glacial landforms are landforms molded by glacial meltwater. There are 2 main fluvio-glacial features; 1)Outwash Plains.

Aim: What are Glaciers? I. Glacier – found at high altitudes and high latitudes. These are locations where more snow falls during the winter than melts.

Glaciers We wouldn’t be here without them.. A Glacier is an accumulation of snow that is large enough to survive the summer melt. These large ice masses.

Glacial Erosion and Deposition. Erosion Glaciers have the capacity to carry huge rocks and piles of debris over large distances They grind out parallel.

Class 8b: Desert and glacial landforms

Desert landforms Tend to be stark, barren (not much soil)

Desert landforms Water actually matters the most

Desert landforms

Alluvial fans "Wineglass canyons" lead to alluvial fans

Desert landforms Erg: sea of sand (Arabic for sand) Reg: “desert pavement” (Arabic for stone)

Glaciers A pile of snow moving like a very slow river

Glaciers Formed where there's always snow

How do glaciers move? Slides on water (melting and re-freezing)

Glacial erosion and transport

Glacial deposition Soil and rocks left behind when glacier retreats Outwash plain: Glacial erratics:

Continental glaciers

Moraines (deposition features) Kettles:
