While stretching off
ice movements into and out of the stretch should remain slow and smooth.
Not exact matches
These other interpretations employ other types of evidence: oral history, the evolution of plants and animals, archaeology, stones, tools and weapons, material artefacts of all kinds, song, poetry, even dance and body
movement, Antarctic
ice, radio - activity, all these open windows
into the past.
Studying surging glaciers could also offer insights
into grander - scale
ice flows with global consequences: the
movements of the
ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland, which can change abruptly, altering the
ice discharges that affect sea level.
Reichert says that such ultrathin layers of water are a common phenomenon, and understanding the behavior of HDL and LDL water may lead to insights
into water's behavior in diverse situations, from
ice skating to ion
movement across biological cell walls.
A glaciologist rather than a biologist, he wanted to investigate a question critical to climate change: Do subglacial rivers and lakes lubricate the
movement of
ice over land — and might they somehow accelerate a glacier's flow
into the ocean, triggering rapid sea level rise?
He says previous predictive models of Greenland's
ice loss did not adequately take
into account the faster
movement of its southern glaciers, which is accelerating the amount of
ice entering the ocean: «Greenland is probably going to contribute more to sea level rise, and faster than predicted by these models.»
This process of transforming the fluffy snow
into hard
ice is physical and both the thickness and the
movement of the water molecules are dependent on the temperature.
Much more interesting are the three distinct types of mineral flow across the landscape, produced by the
movement of
ice - rich material, landslides or blankets of ejected particles following impact
into ice - rich material.
The snow in the game can slow down troop
movements and the
ice on a body of water can be destroyed, sinking anyone unlucky enough to be standing over it
into the frozen waters.

Scientists analyzing satellite data were astonished to discover the size of the vast lakes and river systems flowing beneath the Antarctic
ice sheets, which may lubricate the
movement of these glaciers as they flow
into the surrounding sea.
