Glacier and Winds

The glaciers are a formation of massive moving ice that is compressed over several centuries and it is moved by the gravity pull and the flow of wind. Most of the glaciers are going in the Polar Regions as the regions signify the extremely cold temperature with the absence of sun rays. During the ice age of the earth that ended more than 10000 years ago most of the glaciers formed and with the days those are melted due to global warming.  Amazon glaciers are one of the largest glaciers that are in the Amazon basin region.

The concept of the glacier and winds 

The glaciers are significantly mainly found in the freezing temperature in the polar region that accumulates snow that is formed by the flow of wind and the temperature precipitation. Over the centuries the slow accumulation of snow wind and the major form of metamorphism, snow formation, makes the beginning of the ice process era. The glaciers are mainly classified according to their size which relies on the ice sheets, and the cirque of glaciers. 

The glaciers are divided as per the location as well as the thermal regime and are a sensitive indicator of the rapid climate change due to global warming. Due to changes in climate, it is predicted that the formation of glaciers will last more than 10,000 to 15,000 years. The strong wind that flows the snow to the glaciers makes them compressed and larger. It is seen that more than 3% of the water on the earth is frozen in the form of glaciers and with the change in climate the water is also changing; the water consumption on the earth is also increasing the seawater level of the earth.

Glaciers: overview 

Over many years the masses of compressed ice moved slowly by the slow wind in dry Iceland that composed a solid ice formation in the form of glaciers. Rather than Polar Regions, glaciers are also seen in the mountain regions due to freezing temperature as well as dense ice. The continuous movement of glaciers and the flow of wind forms glaciers in front of the mountainside and coastal flats.

Types of glaciers  

• Ice sheets: An ice sheet is a significant type of glacier that is largely expanded in the Polar Regions and in the mountainside as well. Only two ice sheet glaciers have been found in the present time in Antarctica and Greenland.
• Ice caps: The ice cap is a small size ice sheet found in the topographical side like the tallest mountain region and coastal flats. It covers more than 8% of Iceland.
• Icefields: Icefields are similar to ice caps that underlie terrain regions and it is not large like ice sheets.
• Outlet glaciers: Glaciers flowing out of the icefield, ice sheet and icecap are termed as Outlet glaciers. 

The usage of amazon glaciers  

Accessing the glaciological knowledge, the amazon glaciers are a formation of ice masses and the snow precipitation of the slow wind in the region of the Amazon basin. The formation of amazon glaciers mainly happened due to the cold water of the Atlantic Ocean and the hydrological cycle of the Amazon with the geomorphic and ecological process of Amazon River water.

Conclusion

Glaciers and wind flow are integrally connected with the physiography of the world. The glaciers were mostly formed by the snow wind flow that compressed the crystallized ice formation in the polar region along with the freezing mountainside and coastal region of the earth. Most glaciers are formed in the ice age and with the rapid change of climate due to global warming, the glaciers are starting to melt and reduce their size. Due to the continuous melt of glaciers in the polar region, the seawater level is gradually increasing which changes the topographical situation of the world physiography.
