(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
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)
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
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
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
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.

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
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"
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
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
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
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
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
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
