Geology - Glaciers and Ice Sheets

Explore the fascinating world of glaciers and ice sheets in this comprehensive 57-minute lecture. Delve into the formation, movement, and impact of glaciers on Earth's landscape. Learn about various types of glaciers, including valley glaciers, ice shelves, and piedmont glaciers. Understand glacier dynamics, such as zones of fracture, glacier speed, and surges. Discover glacial features like cirques, aretes, and moraines, and examine the effects of glaciers on the environment. Investigate notable geological phenomena, including Lake Missoula and pluvial lakes. Conclude with insights into Antarctica and its connection to plate tectonics, gaining a deeper understanding of Earth's icy realms and their role in shaping our planet.
