Document Summary

Con grounf water & slide %@ darcy law+ add to ground water lec. Water is stored b 2% hydrosphere, 80% fress water, & glaciere cover 10% of land surface in earth, but. = fluids can be either a liquid or a gas. Fluids deform under stress/pressure and have ability to flow. So since ice is densly compress with tight bodning to form solid particle, movement is not possible . so ice cannot be compressed due to fixed shape. Glacier grow with more snow falls and or less melting of the precious snow fall. Like streams but smaller trubutes feed into a main channel: ex = kulan nat park yukon. Glaciers store water and produce economic geologic deposits. Glaciers form when snow accumulation is greater than loss from melting & sublimation: glacier is ice moving under its own weight, 4. Glaciers flow under their own weight: 7. Eskers, drumlins and murrains formed by glaciers: 8.
