Ablation (Wastage): surface snow and ice loss from a glacier or covering of ice or snow. Abrasion: the wearing away of rock surfaces by small particles moved by air or water. Abrasiveness also seems to be the one quality currently shared by most political appointees and prominent heads of state. See Ontogenetic

Theory of Continental Drift The seven continents used to be one giant continent named Pangea. They spread apart and became what the continents are today. The shapes of the continents line up‚ the fossils line up with how the continents‚ the rock formations on both sides of the Atlantic line up with the fossils and coastlines‚ and climatic evidence proves the Theory of Continental Drift. The first piece of evidence for Continental Drift is the shapes of the continents. All of the continents fit

accumulate or minerals to precipitate from a solution. Particles that form a sedimentary rock by accumulating are called sediment. Before being deposited‚ sediment was formed by weathering and erosion in a source area‚ and then transported to the place of deposition by water‚ wind‚ mass movement or glaciers which are called agents of denudation. The sedimentary rock cover of the continents of the Earth’s crust is extensive‚ but

having sour taste‚ used very commonly in the chemistry laboratories. It got its name from Latin word Acetum‚ which means vinegar. Pure acetic acid is also called glacial acetic acid‚ because in winters it freezes easily as temperature goes below 16-17°C. Therefore it looks like as if a small glacier is there in the bottle‚ hence called glacial acetic acid. Laboratory and daily life uses of acetic acid are: (i) Acetic acid is used in household kitchens as vinegar (4% to 8% acetic acid solution) for pickling

Being born and raised in Juneau‚ Alaska I have sadly seen over a dozen glaciers recede at a rapid rate‚ each year being a record-breaking year. Years where snow fall has been minimal because the difference of a few degrees. Unfortunately‚ these unusual years are become the standard. The farther north you travel the larger the

world lie in these mountains e.g. Nanga Parbat (8126 meters)‚ which is the ninth highest peak in the world and the second highest peak in Pakistan. Since the mountains are perpetually covered with snow there are many glaciers‚ with Rupal Glacier being the longest (17.6 km). The glacial action has created many beautiful lakes like the Saiful Muluk lake which lies in the upper Kaghan Valley. Another noticeable geographic feature of this area are the deep gorges carved by the Indus in this region. The
