If the ablation zone is larger than the accumulation zone then the glacier is _________
Melting/Receding
Sediment is transported in this zone.
Zone 2
This outlines the series of processes that create and transform all rocks in Earths crust
The rock cycle
The primary gas in our atmosphere.
Nitrogen
Piedmont Glacier
A V-shaped valley signifies this age of a river.
Young (Immature)
This earthquake wave originates from the epicenter.
Surface waves
The strongest, most potent, greenhouse gas
Water Vapor
The location of the fastest flow of a glacier
The area in a meander that has the slowest velocity.
The inside of the curve.
This plate boundary is associated with the formation of a mid-ocean ridge.
Greenhouse gases trap this type of radiation.
Longwave radiation (infrared heat)
Crevasses will only form in this zone of a glacier.
Brittle Zone
This zone has the greatest erosional power.
Zone 1 (Sediment Production)
The sediment load that is transported on the bed of a river.
Bedload
These are changes in Earth’s position relative to the Sun and concern the Earth’s wobble on its axis as well as changes to its orbital shape.
Milankovitch Cycles
This glacial deposit causes glacial meltwater and lakes to have a turquoise blue color.
Glacial Flour
A braided river forms due to this factor.
Very high sediment load, low discharge.
A mafic magma will have this level of viscosity.
Low viscosity (flows easily)
These regions of the Earth that are experiencing the most dramatic changes due to climate change.
