It covers 71% of the earth’s surface and is necessary for every known organism to live. 97% of the total water found on the earth lies in the oceans. The rest of water is in the form of glaciers and ice caps (2.1%)‚ ground water (0.6%)‚ inland water (0.2%) and water vapours (0.001%). Water is neutral to litmus. Its freezing point is 00C and melting point is 1000C. It is also regarded as “Universal solvent”. The importance of water is undeniable

The hypothesis that was created as to what process formed the parallel groves was‚ The Glacier Theory. What occurred in this process was that‚ 15 thousand years ago‚ the whole section was covered with flowing ice that had huge boulders underneath it. When the ice dragged the boulders over the bedrock that was pressing against it‚ the smaller

A U valley always starts as a typical V shaped valley however through the shape of the glacier‚ it uniformly turns the landscape into a U shape. A Glaciated Valley forms when a glacier travels down a slope. A glacier is a slow moving mass of ice that is formed by the accumulated and compacted snow on the mountains. When this glacier travels down the

Then he talks about the different theories of how this happened. He concludes with speaking of the future and the climate it possesses. Scientists have discovered that in the past million years‚ glaciers have covered the Earth’s surface on several different occasions. There have been several "ice ages" in the Earth’s past‚ and twenty

shape of Michigan not only today‚ but also during the glaciers of the Ice Age? The glaciers that covered Michigan over one million years ago scraped the top layer of the landscape as they moved‚ carving landscapes throughout the land. As the glaciers melted‚ rivers streamed through the channels created by the glacier. The streams that formed from the glaciers spread the materials caught in the glacier throughout the land down south. The glaciers aimed to travel the least resistant path and thus the

Ice is also what forms glaciers‚ and this features prominently in another one of Eliasson’s works The Glacier Series. These massive formations not only form slowly but also move slowly‚ much slower than the human eye can perceive‚ much less the attention span wishes to

THE primary trigger for the Uttarakhand disaster following the very heavy rain during June 16-18 was the extremely unusual behaviour of the monsoon this year over north India. The incessant‚ heavy rainfall over three days‚ perhaps accompanied by a few cloudburst-type events (which cannot be confirmed)‚ resulted in flash floods and associated landslides. The devastation
