    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kame_delta

    A kame delta (or ice-contact delta, morainic delta [1]) is a glacial landform formed by a stream of melt water flowing through or around a glacier and depositing material, known as kame (stratified sequence of sediments) deposits.

  3. Isostatic depression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isostatic_depression

    Projected future equilibrium states of Greenland ice sheet [1] Isostatic depression is the sinking of large parts of the Earth's crust into the asthenosphere caused by a heavy weight placed on the Earth's surface, often glacial ice during continental glaciation. [2] Isostatic depression and isostatic rebound occur at rates of centimeters per ...

  4. Ice sheet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_sheet

    Greenland ice sheet as seen from space. An ice sheet is a body of ice which covers a land area of continental size - meaning that it exceeds 50,000 km 2. [4] The currently existing two ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica have a much greater area than this minimum definition, measuring at 1.7 million km 2 and 14 million km 2, respectively.

    Nationwide studded tire restrictions in Japan for passenger vehicles came into effect in April 1991, followed by restrictions for commercial trucks in 1993. [17] Studded tires are still legal in Japan, but their usage is restricted by environmental law and it is a criminal offence to operate a vehicle fitted with a studded tire on dry asphalt ...

  6. Glacier morphology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glacier_morphology

    [8] [9] Ice from continental sheets is drained into the ocean by a complex network of ice streams, and their activity is greatly affected by oceanic and atmospheric processes. [8] They feature a higher velocity in the centre of the stream, and are bounded by slow-moving ice on either side. [ 10 ]

    The Antarctic ice sheet is a continental glacier covering 98% of the Antarctic continent, with an area of 14 million square kilometres (5.4 million square miles) and an average thickness of over 2 kilometres (1.2 mi).
