4.3: Glaciers

Slide 1 - Tekstslide

What do you know about glaciers?

Slide 2 - Tekstslide

Glacier

A large ice mass, often shaped like a river.

Glaciers are able to move due to gravity

Terminous/snout is the end of a glacier

Slide 3 - Tekstslide

Slide 4 - Tekstslide

Slide 5 - Tekstslide

Slide 6 - Tekstslide

Slide 7 - Tekstslide

Glaciers usually form in a cirque

Cirque (keteldal)

Slide 8 - Tekstslide

Plucking and abrasion

Plucking: A type of erosion in a glacier: the movement of the glacier pulls rocks away. (afbreken)

Abrasion : A type of erosion in a glacier: the glacier scrapes along its bottom and sides. (wrijving)

Slide 9 - Tekstslide

Slide 10 - Tekstslide

Slide 11 - Tekstslide

Slide 12 - Kaart

Slide 13 - Video

Off to work

Do 2 first in class. You need an atlas

then 3-5

Slide 14 - Tekstslide

Glacial erosional landforms

Slide 15 - Tekstslide

Notes

Because of plucking and abrasion, the glaciers forms a valley called a U-Shaped valley

Slide 16 - Tekstslide

Slide 17 - Kaart

Hanging valley

A valley created by a tributary galcier which hangs above the main valley

Slide 18 - Tekstslide

Slide 19 - Tekstslide

Depositional landforms

Glaciers do not only erode material. They also carry the eroded rocks and sediments to other places: this is called deposition

Slide 20 - Tekstslide

Slide 21 - Tekstslide

Moraines

Slide 22 - Tekstslide

Slide 23 - Tekstslide

Moraines

A depositional landform formed by glaciers: sediments that have been pushed together.

Slide 24 - Tekstslide

Exercise

Pick a glacier in the world.
In which country is your glacier
What is the weight of your glacier
What is there to do for tourist on your glacier
How has the glacier changed over the years
