Glacial polish Glacial polish is a characteristic of rock surfaces where glaciers have passed over bedrock, typically granite or other hard igneous or metamorphic rock. Moving ice will carry pebbles and sand grains removed from upper levels which in turn grind a smooth or groved surface upon the underlying rock.

Striations usually occur as multiple straight, parallel lines representing the movement of the sediment-loaded base of the glacier.

Glacier A glacier is a large, long-lasting river of ice that is formed on land and moves in response to gravity and undergoes internal deformation. Glacier ice is the largest reservoir of fresh water on Earth, mainly as of Antarctica and Greenland, and second only to oceans as the largest reservoir of total water.
Glacier ice accumulation Glacier ice accumulation occurs through accumulation of snow and other frozen precipitation, as well as through other means including rime ice (freezing of water vapor on the glacier surface), avalanching from hanging glaciers on cliffs and mountainsides above, and re-freezing of glacier meltwater as superimposed ice. Accumulation is one element in the glacier mass balance formula, with ablation counteracting.
Glacier mass balance Crucial to the survival of a glacier is its mass balance, the difference between accumulation and ablation (melting and sublimation). Climate change may cause variations in both temperature and snowfall, causing changes in mass balance.
Glacier morphology Glacier morphology, or the form a glacier takes, is influenced by temperature, precipitation, topography, and other factors. Types of glaciers range from massive ice sheets, such as the Greenland ice sheet or those in Antarctica, to small cirque glaciers perched on a mountain.

Glacial polish Glacial polish is a characteristic of rock surfaces where glaciers have passed over bedrock, typically granite or other hard igneous or metamorphic rock. Moving ice will carry pebbles and sand grains removed from upper levels which in turn grind a smooth or groved surface upon the underlying rock.

Striations usually occur as multiple straight, parallel lines representing the movement of the sediment-loaded base of the glacier.

Glacier A glacier is a large, long-lasting river of ice that is formed on land and moves in response to gravity and undergoes internal deformation. Glacier ice is the largest reservoir of fresh water on Earth, mainly as of Antarctica and Greenland, and second only to oceans as the largest reservoir of total water.
Glacier ice accumulation Glacier ice accumulation occurs through accumulation of snow and other frozen precipitation, as well as through other means including rime ice (freezing of water vapor on the glacier surface), avalanching from hanging glaciers on cliffs and mountainsides above, and re-freezing of glacier meltwater as superimposed ice. Accumulation is one element in the glacier mass balance formula, with ablation counteracting.
Glacier mass balance Crucial to the survival of a glacier is its mass balance, the difference between accumulation and ablation (melting and sublimation). Climate change may cause variations in both temperature and snowfall, causing changes in mass balance.
Glacier morphology Glacier morphology, or the form a glacier takes, is influenced by temperature, precipitation, topography, and other factors. Types of glaciers range from massive ice sheets, such as the Greenland ice sheet or those in Antarctica, to small cirque glaciers perched on a mountain.
