Secrets of Science By David Dietz, - Ice is another dile of the agencies which ;plays :ate important part in the wearing- away and changing of the earth's surface,' , Ice forming in the crevices, of rocks ]helps crack , and crumble the rocks. The ice which forma upon streams or lakes has a destructive effect upon.the banks or shores when it beginsto break up. But it is in the form of glaciers that ice does its greatest damage to the rocks. A glacier is a great mass 'of' ice Which is siowly moving down a valley or overspreading,a tract of land. Glaciers range in thickness' from several hundred feet to several thous - ,and feet. They are found to -day in Switzer- land, the Eastern Alps, the Pyrenees, the Cancans, the mountain valleys of Norway and the Himalayas. • In the United States, small glaciers are found in the bigh mountains of California, Oregon and Washington. Larger glaciers are found in Canada and Alaska. The whole interior of Greenland; a territory several hundred thousand Ware miles in extent, is covered with a glacial formation known as an ice field. A 'similar ice field ,covers the ant- arctic region. Geologists believe that at four periods in the earth's history such ice dells extended far down into what is now the temperate zoite. Many geologists think that another such -period may be In eters for the: the Two factors aro needed for the for- mation of a glacier. First an abundd, ant snow fall. Second, sufficient cold to preserve part. of one winter's snow- fall over the next. In this way, layer atter layer of snow accumulates. As the weightincreases the undermost layette are compressed into a coasseigrained ice to Which geologists have given the name"neve." Glaciers .are importantgeological agents because of their motiou. The great weight of the glacier exerts a force which causes the glacier to move slowly down hill. _ This movement in same glaciers is only a few inches a day. In others 1t is as much as 60 feet per day. Loess rock caughtemder the glacier is; dragged along with • it. The pros-. sure of the mass' of the glacier is 60 great that these loose reeks act like engraving tools, scoring great grooves 1n the bed rock underneath. The ordinary processes wbich wear. away rocks, and landslides and aval- anchee, cause much rock debris to be deposdted upon the' top of the glacier: This is carried along bythe glacier and when the glacier melts, deposited upon the ground. Melting of glaciers also gives rise• to many rivers.. Thus the Rhone River has. its source in the Rhone Glacier. Icebergs originate where glaciers meet the sea. As the glacier pushes over the end of the land into the sea, the end is buoyed up for a time by the water. Eventually' It -breaks, leaving gigantic chunks of ice -the -Icebergs- fleeting upon the sea, • • Next article'-- The Work of the earth. Ocean. /`I AI< �;iP�RI i il[� 133 rfi I Ancient illiterates.
