How Glaciers Move ___________________ ____________ ______ __________

The movement of sediments by wind, water, ice, or gravity.

This valley glacier has bands that look like ripples

Erosion: Deposition: AIM: Erosional and Depositional systems

Form in high mountains where snow accumulates to sufficient depths so that it is compressed, compacted and recrystallized. For this reason glacial.

Charity I. Mulig.

Glacier Erosion  A glacier is a large, moving mass of ice that are found in either high elevations or near the poles.  A very large portion of Canada’s.

 As glaciers travel over land, glacial ice can erode the underlying bedrock.  This erosion can happen by:  Plucking  Abrasion.

What is erosion? -Erosion is the removal of rock particles and soil from an area -Erosion requires energy (usually supplied by gravity)

GLACIERS A glacier is: Any large mass of ice that moves slowly over land Any large mass of ice that moves slowly over land.

Guided Notes For Glaciers Section 8.3. Glaciers shape the landscape by eroding, transporting, and depositing huge volumes of rock and sediment.

Glacial Landscapes Glacier = large moving mass of ice. Glacier = large moving mass of ice. Glaciers erode, transport and deposit massive amount of sediment.

Agenda Check In Review notes Glaciers WATER Who’d’a Thunk: Karaoke means “empty orchestra” in Japanese.

- In some places it is too cold for all the snow to melt - This snow begins to pile up - The weight of all the snow piling up causes the crystals to reform.

 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.

Glaciers UNIT 5 STANDARDS: STATE OBJECTIVES: NCES 2.1.1, 2.1.3, LESSON 6

Lesson Objectives  In this lesson, you will learn about:  How glaciers form  Conditions that form valley glaciers  Conditions that form continental glaciers  How glaciers modify the landscape

How Glaciers work  Three things glaciers have:  Mass  Pressure  Gravity  Glaciers shape the land by eroding, transporting, and depositing large volumes of rock and sediment.

What is a glacier  Definition  Video Video  Large moving mass of Ice  Form near the earth’s poles  Glaciers have had dramatic effects on human populations: Ice Ages  Cold temperatures keep snow from melting and allow for the accumulation of snow.  Each layers adds more pressure on the layer below, until it turns to ice.

What about a Valley Glacier  Characteristics  Form in high mountain valleys  Movement because mass becomes too great to stay in one place …gravity is driving force  Deep cracks in the glacier are crevasses  Speed of glacier determined by slope of valley  Sides of glacier move slower than the middle because of friction with bedrock.

Continental Glaciers  Characteristics  Columbia Glacier Columbia Glacier  Form over large areas  Thickest in the center  Form immense ice sheets  Characteristic of Ice Ages, where whole continents were covered

Glacial Erosion  Ranking  Plucking  Grind Away  Greatest erosion force on planet  Breaking off and picking up rocks  Constant pressure erodes bedrock by abrasion  Formation of “U-shaped’ valleys

Glacial Deposition Landscape  Glacial Till  Moraine  Outwash  Drumlin  Esker  Deposited mixture of the debris carried by glaciers  The ridges left behind by the till, along sides  Debris left when the glacier melts and recedes  The elongated land formed when glaciers travel over moraines  The stream that flows at the base of the glacier, as the ice melts.

Lesson Review  Explain how valley and continental glaciers form  How can a valley glacier modify the mountain where it forms  What evidence of past glaciers are present on the earth today  Remember answers for lesson
