Definition von glaciers im Englisch Türkisch wörterbuch

(Askeri) dağ buzulu

(Askeri) BUZUL, DAĞ BUZULU: Düşen kar miktarı erime miktarını geçen bir bölgede teşekkül eden ve bir dağ yamacından veya vadiden aşağıya doğru yavaş yavaş hareket eden buz kitlesi veya buzlu saha. Buzul; aşağıya doğru inen suların ve karların tazyiki sonucu meydana gelmiş buzdan ibarettir

Buzullar küresel ısınma nedeniyle eriyor. - Glaciers are melting because of global warming.

Dünya genelinde buzullar erimektedir. - Glaciers around the world are melting.

Definition von glaciers im Englisch Englisch wörterbuch: Massive sheets of ice that expand and move; Large masses of ice that formed, in part, on land by the compaction and recrystallization of snow They may be moving downslope or outward in all directions because of the stress of their own weight or they may be retreating or be stagnant; There are two glaciers shown on the map by a white (ice) background and blue contour lines; plural of glacier; form when snow from the previous winter does not completely melt over the summer months New snow is added during each successive winter The accumulation of snow year after year eventually produces an ice sheet several kilometres thick Such a thick ice sheet, called a continental glacier, moved across Canada during the last ice age
glacier: A large body of ice which flows under its own mass, usually downhill
glacier: a field or stream of ice
glacier: {i} very large mass of ice formed through the gradual accumulation of snow in high cold regions
glacier: {n} a perennial body of ice
glacier: A mass of ice and snow that moves downhill because of gravity
glacier: A mass of land ice that is formed by the cumulative recrystallization of firn A glacier flows slowly (at present or in the past) from an accumulation area to an ablation area Some well-known glaciers are: the Zermatt, Stechelberg, Grindelwald, Trient, Les Diablerets, and Rhone in Switzerland; the Nigards, Gaupne, Fanarak, Lom, and Bover in Norway; the Wright, Taylor, and Wilson Piedmont glaciers in Antarctica; the Bossons Glacier in France; the Emmons and Nisqually glaciers on Mt Ranier, Washington; Grinnell glacier in Glacier National Park, Montana; the Dinwoody glacier in the Wind River Mountains and the Teton glacier in Teton National Park, both in Wyoming; and many glaciers in the Canadian Rockies (Source: Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center, 1990)
glacier: is a multi-year accumulation of snowfall in excess of snow melt on land, resulting in a mass of ice covering at least a tenth of a square kilometer, that shows some evidence of movement in response to gravity Glacier ice is the largest reservoir of fresh water on Earth, and second only to the oceans as the largest reservoir of total water Glaciers are found on every continent except Australia
glacier: a huge mass of ice and snow which moves extremely slowly (inches per year); able to scrape off and move large amounts of earth
glacier: A multi-year surplus accumulation of snowfall in excess of snowmelt on land and resulting in a mass of ice at least 0 1 km2 in area that shows some evidence of movement in response to gravity A glacier may terminate on land or in water Glacier ice is the largest reservoir of fresh water on Earth, and second only to the oceans as the largest reservoir of total water Glaciers are found on every continent except Australia
glacier: A slowly moving mass of ice formed by an accumulation of snow During the last ICE AGE there were glaciers in Britain
glacier: A large body of ice that moves down a mountainside from highlands toward sea level
glacier: Bodies of land ice that consist of recrystallized snow accumulated on the surface of the ground (Matthes, 1949, p 150), and that move slowly downslope
glacier: – A large mass of ice and snow that forms when the rate of snowfall constantly exceeds the rate at which snow melts; most often associated with the Ice Age, in which large parts of the earth were covered with glaciers
glacier: A glacier is an extremely large mass of ice which moves very slowly, often down a mountain valley. a large mass of ice which moves slowly down a mountain valley (glace , from glacies). Large mass of perennial ice that forms on land through the recrystallization of snow and that moves forward under its own weight. The term ice sheet is commonly applied to a glacier that occupies an extensive tract of relatively level land and that flows from the centre outward. Glaciers occur where snowfall in winter exceeds melting in summer, conditions that prevail only in high mountain areas and polar regions. Glaciers occupy about 11% of the Earth's land surface but hold roughly three-fourths of its fresh water; 99% of glacier ice lies in Antarctica and Greenland.

glacier: a body of ice, consisting largely of recrystalized snow, that shows evidence of downslide movement due to its own weight
glacier: {s} of an glacier, like a glacier
glacier: 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
glacier: A large mass of ice formed, at least in part, on land by the compaction and recrystallization of snow, moving slowly down slope or outward in all directions due to the stress of its own weight and surviving from year to year The term "glacier" is usually, though not exclusively, confined to ice bodies that are constrained by valleys Ice bodies that are continental in scale are usually called "ice sheets"
glacier: A large tongue of ice that flows down a slope A glacier which flows entirely within a valley is sometimes called a valley glacier If a glacier comes out of mountains and spreads out onto a plain, it becomes part of an ice sheet If valley glaciers fill their valleys during an ice age, the ice spills over the crests to make a mountain ice cap, or if larger, a mountain ice sheet
glacier: Mass of ice that flows under its own weight by internal deformation of ice, basal sliding, or other mechanisms
glacier: a large mass of ice formed when more snow falls than melts every year As the glacier moves downhill, it creates a variety of landforms
glacier: a body of moving ice that forms on land by compaction and recrystallization of snow
glacier: Fields of snow become sheets of ice so massive that their very weight causes them to move The tools which sculpted the face of the northern land
glacier: A large long lasting accumulation of snow and ice that develops on land Most glaciers flow along topographic gradients because of their weight and gravity
glacier: a slowly moving mass of ice
glacier: A large body of ice occupying corries and valley in a mountainous area, and which moves slowly under the influence of gravity
glacier: – a large mass of ice that moves slowly down a slope or valley
glacier: A large mass of ice formed by compressed snow, which moves slowly under its own weight Glaciers exist where, over a period of years, snow remains after summer's end and accumulates year after year
glacier: A large body of ice that moves slowly down a mountainside from highlands toward sea level A glacier is a slow moving, frozen river of ice
glacier: A moving body of ice that forms on land from the accumulation and compaction of snow, and that flows downslope or outward due to gravity and the pressure of its own weight
glacier: A large mass of ice formed, at least in part, on land by the compaction and recrystallisation of snow, moving slowly downslope or outward in all directions, due to the stress of its own weight, and surviving from year to year
glacier: a large mass of ice (at least 1km^2) set in motion by the Earth's gravity, which is a result of accumulated snowfall with little snow melt
