glacier    音标拼音: [gl'eʃɚ]
n. 冰河

冰河

glacier
n 1: a slowly moving mass of ice

Glacier \Gla"cier\, n. [F. glacier, fr. glace ice, L. glacies.]
An immense field or stream of ice, formed in the region of
perpetual snow, and moving slowly down a mountain slope or
valley, as in the Alps, or over an extended area, as in
Greenland.
[1913 Webster]

Note: The mass of compacted snow forming the upper part of a
glacier is called the firn, or n['e]v['e]; the glacier
proper consist of solid ice, deeply crevassed where
broken up by irregularities in the slope or direction
of its path. A glacier usually carries with it
accumulations of stones and dirt called moraines, which
are designated, according to their position, as
lateral, medial, or terminal (see {Moraine}). The
common rate of flow of the Alpine glaciers is from ten
to twenty inches per day in summer, and about half that
in winter.
[1913 Webster]

{Glacier theory} (Geol.), the theory that large parts of the
frigid and temperate zones were covered with ice during
the glacial, or ice, period, and that, by the agency of
this ice, the loose materials on the earth's surface,
called drift or diluvium, were transported and
accumulated.
[1913 Webster]

    The largest glacier, by area, is the Seller Glacier on the Antarctic Peninsula, measuring over 7,000 square kilometers (2,700 square miles) The largest ice crystals that make up a glacier can be as large as apples However, there are many other ice masses on Earth that are much larger than the largest glacier
  • Glaciers - National Snow and Ice Data Center
    What is a glacier? A glacier is an accumulation of ice and snow that slowly flows over land At higher elevations, more snow typically falls than melts, adding to its mass Eventually, the surplus of built-up ice begins to flow downhill At lower elevations, there is usually a higher rate of melt or icebergs break off that removes ice mass
