  2. Glacial stream - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glacial_stream

    A glacier stream is a channelized area that is formed by a glacier in which liquid water accumulates and flows. [1] Glacial streams are also commonly referred to as "glacier stream" or/and "glacial meltwater stream". The movement of the water is influenced and directed by gravity and the melting of ice. [1]

  3. Fluvioglacial landform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluvioglacial_landform

    At the interface of the glacier and the underlying land surface, the immense weight of the glacier causes ice to melt and produces subglacial meltwater streams. These streams under immense pressure and at high velocities along with the overlying weight of the glacier itself are able to carve into landscapes and pluck sediment from the ground. [6]

  4. Ice calving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_calving

    Ice calving, also known as glacier calving or iceberg calving, is the breaking of ice chunks from the edge of a glacier. [1] It is a form of ice ablation or ice disruption. It is the sudden release and breaking away of a mass of ice from a glacier, iceberg, ice front, ice shelf, or crevasse. The ice that breaks away can be classified as an ...

    Sea level rise is accelerating, the melting of Europe’s Alpine glaciers shattered records and devastating floods, drought and heatwaves hit in 2022, the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) said.

  6. Glacier mass balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glacier_mass_balance

    Ablation is the reverse of accumulation: it includes all the processes by which a glacier can lose mass. The main ablation process for most glaciers that are entirely land-based is melting; the heat that causes melting can come from sunlight, or ambient air, or from rain falling on the glacier, or from geothermal heat below the glacier bed.

  7. Glacial landform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glacial_landform

    Later, when the glaciers retreated leaving behind their freight of crushed rock and sand (glacial drift), they created characteristic depositional landforms. Depositional landforms are often made of glacial till , which is composed of unsorted sediments (some quite large, others small) that were eroded, carried, and deposited by the glacier ...

    Swiss glaciers melted at an above-average rate in 2024 as a blistering hot summer thawed through abundant snowfall, monitoring body GLAMOS said on Tuesday. Earlier this year, glaciologists had ...

    Fields of white snow and ice are giving way to grey rocky outcrops in the Swiss Alps as glaciers melt after another hot summer. And another wave of melting is expected to be confirmed this year ...
