Definitions and Meaning of glacier in English

glacier noun

  1. a slowly moving mass of ice

    ഹിമനദി, ഹിമാനി

Description

A glacier is a persistent body of dense ice that is constantly moving under its own weight. A glacier forms where the accumulation of snow exceeds its ablation over many years, often centuries. It acquires distinguishing features, such as crevasses and seracs, as it slowly flows and deforms under stresses induced by its weight. As it moves, it abrades rock and debris from its substrate to create landforms such as cirques, moraines, or fjords. Although a glacier may flow into a body of water, it forms only on land and is distinct from the much thinner sea ice and lake ice that form on the surface of bodies of water.

കരയിൽ ഒഴുകിനടക്കുന്ന മഞ്ഞുപാടങ്ങളാണ് ഹിമാനി അഥവാ ഗ്ലേഷ്യർ എന്നറിയപ്പെടുന്നത്. ഉയർന്ന പർവതാഗ്രങ്ങളിലും ധ്രുവപ്രദേശങ്ങളിലും ഇവ കാണപ്പെടുന്നു. സാധാരണയായി 90 മുതൽ 3000 മീറ്റർ വരെയാണ് ഹിമാനികളുടെ കനം. ചലനശേഷി പ്രതിദിനം 1 സെ.മീ മുതൽ 1 മീറ്റർ വരെയും. ആസ്ട്രേലിയ ഒഴിച്ച് മറ്റെല്ലാ ഭൂഖണ്ഡങ്ങളിലും ഹിമാനികൾ കാണപ്പെടുന്നു. ഭൂമിയിലെ ശുദ്ധജലത്തിന്റെ ഏറ്റവും വലിയ സ്രോതസ്സുകളാണ് ഹിമാനികൾ. സമുദ്രങ്ങൾ കഴിഞ്ഞാൽ ഭൂമിയിലെ ഏറ്റവും വലിയ ജലസംഭരണികളും ഹിമാനികളാണ്. ഹിമാനിയിൽപ്പെട്ട ഭാഗങ്ങൾ അടർന്നാണ് ഹിമശിലകൾ (icebergs) ഉണ്ടാവുന്നത്.
