40 RESOURCES 2014 DYNAMIC PLANET

41 RESOURCES Glaciers, Climate and Landscapes-Zach Smith Included in Resource CD http://www.physicalgeography.net/fundamentals/1 0ae.html Physical geography.net chapter on glaciation includes some great animations and readable descriptions. http://www.physicalgeography.net/fundamentals/1 0ag.html Physical geography.net chapter on periglacial landforms

42 RESOURCES http://www.physicalgeography.net/fundamentals/1 0af.html Physical geography.net chapter on glacial landforms. Excellent discussion of erosional and depositional landforms. http://palaeo.gly.bris.ac.uk/palaeofiles/permian/gla ciation.html Nice condensed discussion of the Milankovitch Cycle and why glaciation occurs

43 RESOURCES http://nsidc.org/cryosphere/glaciers/questions/com ponents.html The National Snow and Ice Center page describing components of a glacier. http://www.colorado.edu/geography/class_homep ages/geog_1011_sum08/GlacialLandscapes_Bow en.PDF This PPT converted into a PDF provides an excellent catalog of glacial landforms.
