Geomorphic Processes Flashcards
1
Q
Cold based glacier characteristics
A
glacier stuck to bedrock
not lots of meltwater
little movement
internal deformation occurs
2
Q
warm base glacier characteristics
A
melt water underneath glacier
more movement than cold based
basal sliding and internal deformation occur
3
Q
internal deformation
A
ice crystals slide past each other, forming parallel lines and crevasses
4
Q
basal sliding
A
meltwater is under the glacier which causes it to move
