What to Focus On
- A glacier is moving snow and ice.
- Snow fields lie above the snowline.
- Snowline height changes with latitude, altitude, and moisture.
- Agassiz proved glacier movement in 1834.
- Movement is fastest in the middle and slower at the sides.
- Steeper slopes and thicker ice increase glacier velocity.
- Pure ice is least erosive; rock debris does the work.
- Plucking, abrasion, and attrition are the main erosional processes.
- Crevasses form because glacier movement is unequal.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
A glacier is a fixed mass of ice that does not move.
The sides of a glacier move faster than the middle because they are closer to the valley walls.
Snowline and snow fields are the same thing.
