    Air bubbles and particles trapped inside the ice could also reveal why the planet’s ice ages suddenly became longer and more intense about 1 million years ago, which may have caused ancient ...

  4. Ice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice

    Ice is abundant on the Earth's surface, particularly in the polar regions and above the snow line, where it can aggregate from snow to form glaciers and ice sheets. As snowflakes and hail, ice is a common form of precipitation, and it may also be deposited directly by water vapor as frost.

    Water is a well-known example of such a material. For example, water ice is ordinarily found in the hexagonal form ice I h, but can also exist as the cubic ice I c, the rhombohedral ice II, and many other forms. Polymorphism is the ability of a solid to exist in more than one crystal form. For pure chemical elements, polymorphism is known as ...

    Melting ice is slowing Earth's spin and causing changes to its axis, new studies find. The shifts are causing feedback beneath the surface, impacting the planet's molten core.

  8. Cryosphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryosphere

    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). Thus, there is a overlap with the hydrosphere. The cryosphere is an integral part of the global climate system.

    This area was covered by an ice field during the last ice age, and preliminary data from Hall’s research suggest the ice had collapsed back to its center by around 18,000 years ago.
