A kame, or knob, is a glacial landform, an irregularly shaped hill or mound composed of sand, gravel and till that accumulates in a depression on a retreating glacier, and is then deposited on the land surface with further melting of the glacier.Kames are often associated with kettles, and this is referred to as kame and kettle or knob and kettle topography.

Besides the extraordinary rivers of ice, glacial erosion creates other unique physical features in the landscape such as horns, fjords, hanging valleys, and cirques. A valley is an elongated low area often running between hills or mountains, which will typically contain a river or stream running from one end to the other.

The word moraine is borrowed from French moraine, which in turn is derived from the Savoyard Italian morena ("mound of earth"). Penitentes were first described in scientific literature by Charles Darwin in 1839. Crevasses form as a result of the movement and resulting stress associated with the shear stress generated when two semi-rigid pieces above a plastic substrate have different rates of movement.

It at mature stage of valley formation. In glaciology, a roche moutonne (or sheepback) is a rock formation created by the passing of a glacier.The passage of glacial ice over underlying bedrock often results in asymmetric erosional forms as a result of abrasion on the "stoss" (upstream) side of the rock and plucking on the "lee" (downstream) side.

It is often a serious obstacle for mountaineers, who sometimes abbreviate "bergschrund" to "schrund".Bergschrunds extend to the bedrock and can have a depth of well over 100 metres The geological term finger lake refers to a long, narrow lake in an overdeepened glacial valley, while the proper name Finger Lakes goes back to the late 19th century. A steep sided and flat bottomed valley results, which has a U shaped profile. Waterfalls also occur where meltwater drops over the edge of a tabular iceberg or ice shelf.. Waterfalls can be formed in several ways, but the most common method of formation is that a river courses over a top layer of resistant bedrock before falling on to softer rock, which [SE photo 2012] where the slide originated (arrow, 4 km upstream).

Characteristics. pyramidal peaks, truncated spurs, glacial troughs, ribbon lakes and hanging valleys. A glacial lake is a body of water with origins from glacier activity. Since glacial mass is heavy and slow moving, erosional activity is uniform horizontally as well as vertically. Most lakes in the world occupy basins scoured out by glaciers.

A waterfall is a point in a river or stream where water flows over a vertical drop or a series of steep drops. As snow accumulates, each layer presses on lower layers, making them denser until they turn into firn.Firn is not dense enough to prevent air from escaping; but at a density of about 830 kg/m 3 it turns to ice, and the air within is sealed into bubbles that These scratches and gouges were first recognized as the result of a moving glacier in the late 18th century when Swiss alpinists first associated them with moving glaciers. Often, waterfalls form at or near the outlet of the upper valley. Penitentes were first described in scientific literature by Charles Darwin in 1839. Kettles are fluvioglacial landforms occurring as the result of blocks of ice calving from the front of a receding glacier and becoming partially to wholly buried by glacial outwash. Distinctive glacial landforms result from different physical processes. Some coastal regions have been heavily eroded by glacial action and the valley glacier troughs have been excavated below sea level. This enlargement is responsible for the ice's blue colour.

As a glacier moves it carves out a U-shaped valley similar to a riverbed, but with much steeper walls and a flatter bottom. Blue ice occurs when snow falls on a glacier, is compressed, and becomes part of the glacier.During compression, air bubbles are squeezed out, so ice crystals enlarge. The best-known example of such an eiscir is the Eiscir Riada, which runs Blue ice occurs when snow falls on a glacier, is compressed, and becomes part of the glacier.During compression, air bubbles are squeezed out, so ice crystals enlarge.

The Irish word was and is used particularly to describe long sinuous ridges, which are now known to be deposits of fluvio-glacial material. 'village of shepherds' in Kashmiri) is a town and a notified area committee, near Anantnag city in the Anantnag district of the Indian-administered union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. Hanging valleys are common along glaciated fjords and U-shaped valleys.A hanging valley is a tributary valley that is higher than the main valley and was created by tributary glacier flows into a glacier of larger volume. The word moraine is borrowed from French moraine, which in turn is derived from the Savoyard Italian morena ("mound of earth"). The best-known example of such an eiscir is the Eiscir Riada, which runs It at mature stage of valley formation. An outwash plain, also called a sandur (plural: sandurs), sandr or sandar, is a plain formed of glaciofluvial deposits due to meltwater outwash at the terminus of a glacier.As it flows, the glacier grinds the underlying rock surface and carries the debris along. The upper part of a glacier rides on the ice below. Overview. Some coastal regions have been heavily eroded by glacial action and the valley glacier troughs have been excavated below sea level.

A glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF) is a type of outburst flood caused by the failure of a dam containing a glacial lake.An event similar to a GLOF, where a body of water contained by a glacier melts or overflows the glacier, is called a jkulhlaup.The dam can consist of glacier ice or a terminal moraine.Failure can happen due to erosion, a buildup of water pressure, an avalanche It is often a serious obstacle for mountaineers, who sometimes abbreviate "bergschrund" to "schrund".Bergschrunds extend to the bedrock and can have a depth of well over 100 metres Kings Canyon National Park, located on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada to the east of the San Joaquin Valley, is divided into two distinct sections.The smaller and older western section centers around Grant Grove home of many of the park's sequoias and has most of the visitor facilities.
