How Do Glaciers Form? A considerable amount of snow accumulation is necessary for glacial ice to form. It is imperative that more snow accumulates in the winter than that which melts away during the summer. Snowflakes are six-sided crystals of frozen water; however, layers of fluffy snowflakes...
When glaciers move and deposit moraine in a variety of ways, it can produce interesting landform features. Drumlins are hills of deposited moraine. Their size varies, but they will have a steep side and a sloping side, with the sloping side being closest to the glacier as it retreat...

Animals that live in mountainous areas may usealtitudinal migration. Instead of traveling long distances, they move to lower altitudes when winter snow hits the upper mountains. Some spotted owls do this, while others of the same species who don't live in mountains have different migration pattern...
Ships with round-bottom hulls move fluidly, but the resistance of the water makes them extremely slow. They can only go so fast before the addition of more engine power reaches a point of diminishing returns. Nevertheless, the need for stability and a smooth ride outweigh overall speed, thus...
Neel Patel:So in 2018, a group of researchers used radar observations that were made by the European Space Agency's Mars Express orbiter to determine that there was a giant, subsurface lake sitting 1.5 kilometers below the surface of Mars underneath the glaciers near the South pole. The lake...
How do dams affect the water cycle? How is groundwater depleted? How does drought affect the water cycle? How does arable farming cause flooding? How does soil drainage affect the water cycle? How does afforestation help in improving ground water? How are rivers, glaciers, and groundwater aff...
