2. Glacial motion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glacial_motion

   Studying glacial motion and the landforms that result requires tools from many different disciplines: physical geography, climatology, and geology are among the areas sometime grouped together and called earth science. During the Pleistocene (the last ice age), huge sheets of ice called continental glaciers advanced over much of the earth.

3. Ice sheet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_sheet

   Glacial flow rate in the Antarctic ice sheet. The motion of ice in Antarctica. Even stable ice sheets are continually in motion as the ice gradually flows outward from the central plateau, which is the tallest point of the ice sheet, and towards the margins. The ice sheet slope is low around the plateau but increases steeply at the margins. [4]

4. Ice-sheet model - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice-sheet_model

   Shallow Ice Approximation (SIA) is a simple method to model ice flow without having to solve full-Stokes equations. [6] The approximation is best applied to ice sheet with a small depth-to-width ratio, without many sliding dynamics and a simple bed topography. [7]

5. Glacier morphology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glacier_morphology

   Franz Josef Glacier in New Zealand Features of a glacial landscape. Glacier morphology, or the form a glacier takes, is influenced by temperature, precipitation, topography, and other factors. [1] The goal of glacial morphology is to gain a better understanding of glaciated landscapes and the way they are shaped. [2]

   Cartoon showing the isostatic vertical motions of the lithosphere (grey) in response to a vertical load (in green) In geology, lithospheric flexure (also called regional isostasy) is the process by which the lithosphere (rigid, thin outer layer of the Earth) bends under the action of forces such as the weight of a growing orogeny or changes in ice thickness related to glaciation.

9. Cryosphere - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryosphere

   Overview of the cryosphere and its larger components [1]. The cryosphere is an umbrella term for those portions of Earth's surface where water is in solid form. This includes sea ice, ice on lakes or rivers, snow, glaciers, ice caps, ice sheets, and frozen ground (which includes permafrost).
