a glacier that is confined by surrounding mountain terrain

Cirques are bowl-shaped, amphitheater-like depressions that glaciers carve into mountains and valley sidewalls at high elevations.

# data[].attributes.body
Valley glaciers form as cirque glaciers grow and overflow their boundaries, flowing downhill through a valley. These glaciers can be several kilometers long and carve U-shaped valleys as they move.

# data[].attributes.body
Piedmont glaciers form when several valley glaciers merge at the base of a mountain range, creating a broad, lobe-shaped glacier. They are often found in lowland areas and can cover extensive areas.

Continental glaciers, also known as ice sheets, are vast, continuous masses of ice that cover large portions of a continent or island. They are significantly larger than alpine glaciers and have a profound impact on the underlying landscape.

Glacial budget/mass balance: ablation and accumulation, equilibrium line

# data[].attributes.body
Basically, the glacial budget refers to the balance of inputs and outputs impacting the glacial system (or equilibrium line) as shown on the figure below. The equilibrium line is the line that divides the accumulation and ablation zones

Accumulation processes include all the processes that add snow or ice to a glacier, e.g. Ablation processes are all processes that remove snow or ice from a glacier, e.g. Accumulation and ablation rates determine the glacier mass balance, i.e. the change in total mass of snow and ice.

Over time, when the world enters a glacial period, accumulation exceeds ablation. Existing glaciers will increase in size and mass, due to precipitation of snow and the ensuing albedo effect that the glacial ice has.

Great Lakes- In the Michigan and Wisconsin area. Formed by glaciers.There are 5 of them.

Kettle- A depression formed by glaciers.

Ribbon- A lake formed by glaciers in an U-shaped valley.

Finger Lakes- Eleven lakes in New York formed by glaciers.

Tarns-formed by mountain glaciers

Oxbow- came from rivers and are U-shaped.

Moraine-dammed lakes- formed by glaciers

Proglacial lakes- formed by other lakes or ice dams

If there is wind- or ocean-driven turbulence, the frazil crystals mix with surface waters to form a slushy mix referred to as grease ice.

# data[].attributes.body
a thin sheet of smooth, level ice less than 10 centimeters (4 inches) thick.

# data[].attributes.body
thin new ice such as forms in the early fall in polar regions in pieces about one to six feet in diameter resembling pancakes.

1. granular snow, especially on the upper part of a glacier, where it has not yet been compressed into ice.

# data[].attributes.body
Ice that is anchored to the shore or ocean bottom, typically over shallow ocean shelves at continental margins.

# data[].attributes.body
a very large sheet of ice floating in the sea that is made from smaller pieces that have frozen together.

Sea ice is frozen seawater that floats on the ocean surface. Bookending our planet, sea ice waxes and wanes with the polar seasons. In the Arctic winter, sea ice stretches its tentacles into seas and coastlines far from the poles. Since land confines most of the Arctic, sea ice can only spread so far southward in many places. By contrast, Antarctic sea ice fringes a massive land mass, growing as far as winter freezing temperatures let it. Come spring, however, sea ice extent shrinks in the Arctic, with a lot of ice persisting, whereas almost all Southern Ocean or Antarctic sea ice is “seasonal ice,” meaning it melts away and reforms annually.
