  2. Laurentide ice sheet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurentide_ice_sheet

    The Cordilleran ice sheet covered up to 1,500,000 square kilometres (580,000 sq mi) at the Last Glacial Maximum. [11] The eastern edge abutted the Laurentide ice sheet. The sheet was anchored in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia and Alberta, south into the Cascade Range of Washington. That is one and a half times the water held in the ...

  3. Drumlin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drumlin

    Drumlins occur in various shapes and sizes, [6] including symmetrical (about the long axis), spindle, parabolic forms, and transverse asymmetrical forms. Generally, they are elongated, oval-shaped hills, with a long axis parallel to the orientation of ice flow and with an up-ice (stoss) face that is generally steeper than the down-ice (lee) face.

  4. Ice sheet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_sheet

    Greenland ice sheet as seen from space. An ice sheet is a body of ice which covers a land area of continental size - meaning that it exceeds 50,000 km 2. [4] The currently existing two ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica have a much greater area than this minimum definition, measuring at 1.7 million km 2 and 14 million km 2, respectively.

  6. Cordilleran ice sheet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cordilleran_ice_sheet

    Unlike the Laurentide Ice Sheet, which may have taken as many as eleven thousand years to fully melt, [3] the Cordilleran ice sheet melted very quickly, probably in four thousand years or less. [4] This rapid melting caused floods such as the overflow of Lake Missoula and shaped the topography of the fertile Inland Empire of Eastern Washington. [5]

  8. Post-glacial rebound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-glacial_rebound

    To form the ice sheets of the last Ice Age, water from the oceans evaporated, condensed as snow and was deposited as ice in high latitudes. Thus global sea level fell during glaciation. The ice sheets at the last glacial maximum were so massive that global sea level fell by about 120 metres. Thus continental shelves were exposed and many ...

  9. Glacier morphology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glacier_morphology

    Ice sheets are the largest form of glacial formation. They are continent-sized ice masses that span areas over 50,000 square kilometers (19,000 square miles). [5] They are dome-shaped and, like ice caps, exhibit radial flow. [4] [5] [6] As ice sheets expand over the ocean, they become ice shelves. [6]
