Extremely large glaciers that span vast distances and are kind of like a desert.
Ice Sheet
100
The end of a glacier, usually the lowest end, and is also often called a glacier toe or snout.
Terminus
100
Act of a glacier sliding over the bed due to meltwater under the ice acting as a lubricant.
Basal
100
A valley carved from a V shape to a deep U shape.
Glaciated Valley
100
Name the animal trio from the Dreamworks movie Ice Age
Diego, Sid, Manny
200
When a valley glacier spills out into a relatively flat plain.
Piedmont Glacier
200
Deep cracks in glacier ice that are caused by the stress of the ice moving over rocky terrain underneath.
Crevasses
200
The slippage of ice layers within the glacier, or general movement or flow within it.
Plastic Flow
200
a bowl-shaped depression at the head of a glacial valley that is surrounded on three sides by steep walls
Cirques
200
Name the six Original colors on a Rubiks Cube.
Red, Green, Blue, White, yellow, orange
300
Flowing out of Ice Fields or Mountain Glaciers these fill the low areas between mountains.
Valley Glaciers
300
Alternating bands of light and dark ice that form on some glaciers just below icefalls. The ice flows faster down the center of the glacier, forming ridged arcs of ice that bend downstream.
Ogives
300
The lack of balance or the balance in the amount of ice either being deposited or melting away.
Glacial Budget
300
snaking sharp edged ridges
Aretes
300
What is Goose Rock?
Patterson's Favorite Abstract
400
Developing in high mountainous regions or flowing out of icefields that span several peaks or an entire mountain range.
Mountain Glacier
400
Happen when glaciers flow over a steep drop or squeeze through narrow places. That portion of glacier ice flows faster and becomes heavily crevassed.
Icefalls
400
when the glacier loses ice faster than it gains ice.
Retreat
400
Sharp pointed peaks
Horns
400
Reigning over the Himalayas, this cat is often referred to as the "Ghost of the Mountains" or the "Ghost Cat"
Snow Lepard
500
These glaciers were part of a larger glacial system before the overall system thins and retreats leaving them in smaller valleys or tributaries, high above the snow line.
Hanging Glaciers
500
Form within the ice of a glacier. Although they are often called ice caves, this term is better used to describe bedrock caves that contain year-round ice. Glacier caves are often carved out by water running through or under the glacier's ice.
Glacier Caves
500
If more ice accumulates at the top than at the bottom.
Glacial Advance
500
Glacial water melts then refreezes pulling whatever it melted onto with the glacier as it moves.
Plucking
500
What number can be found on the back of the $5 bill in the bushes at the base of the Lincoln Memorial?
(If you have a bill you can look)
