Glacier
Glaciers =  rivers of ice moving slowly downhill

By thawing and freezing again and again the snow changes in time into firn: grainy, icy snow left over from previous seasons. 

Firn piles up in low-lying places high in the mountains to form firn basins, the beginning of what will be a glacier.

Slide 11 - Slide

Ice-age/Glacial-age
Thousands of years ago, the Alps were completely filled with glaciers

Glacial: Cold period during which the earth's average temperature drops a few degrees and extensive ice sheets form on land. Also called ice age

Slide 13 - Video

The remains of Glaciers
The glacier took with it not only ice, but also weathering material (see photo).

We can still see this material in the places where there used to be a glacier.
We call this moraines

Slide 14 - Slide

Moraines
Glacial debris surrounding a glacier.
    Lateral moraines
    Ground moraines
    Terminal moraines

Slide 15 - Slide

What do moraines have to do with the Netherlands?
There used to be ice in the Netherlands, too, and it left debris. You can still find the boulders in many places.

Slide 16 - Slide

During ice age, ice from Scandinavia pushed into the Netherlands.

Slide 17 - Slide

Ice-ages
glacial = period when the average temperature dropped by 5 degrees
 
interglacial = period between glacials in the ice age?
