  2. Regelation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regelation

    Regelation is the phenomenon of ice melting under pressure and refreezing when the pressure is reduced. This can be demonstrated by looping a fine wire around a block of ice, with a heavy weight attached to it. The pressure exerted on the ice slowly melts it locally, permitting the wire to pass through the entire block.

  4. Plucking (glaciation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plucking_(glaciation)

    As a glacier moves down a valley, friction causes the basal ice of the glacier to melt and infiltrate joints (cracks) in the bedrock. The freezing and thawing action of the ice enlarges, widens, or causes further cracks in the bedrock as it changes volume across the ice/water phase transition (a form of hydraulic wedging), gradually loosening ...

  5. Freezing rain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freezing_rain

    The ice that forms on roadways makes vehicle travel dangerous. Unlike snow, wet ice provides almost no traction, and vehicles will slide even on gentle slopes. Because freezing rain does not hit the ground as an ice pellet (called "sleet") but still as a rain droplet, it conforms to the shape of the ground, or object such as a tree branch or car.

  6. Snow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow

    Ice dams on roofs form when accumulated snow on a sloping roof melts and flows down the roof, under the insulating blanket of snow, until it reaches below freezing temperature air, typically at the eaves. When the meltwater reaches the freezing air, ice accumulates, forming a dam, and snow that melts later cannot drain properly through the dam ...

  8. Periglaciation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periglaciation

    The meltwater may refreeze in ice wedges and other structures. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] "Periglacial" originally suggested an environment located on the margin of past glaciers. However, freeze and thaw cycles influence landscapes also outside areas of past glaciation. [ 3 ]

  9. Cryosphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryosphere

    Ice sheets are bigger than ice shelves or alpine glaciers. Masses of ice covering less than 50,000 km 2 are termed an ice cap. An ice cap will typically feed a series of glaciers around its periphery. Although the surface is cold, the base of an ice sheet is generally warmer due to geothermal heat. In places, melting occurs and the melt-water ...
