Question 1
0.5 / 0.5 pts
sublimation of the front of the glacial ice
Correct!
calving
melting of the front of the glacial ice
earthquakes
Icebergs are made by the process of calving. The internet has many videos like this one
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiD9pWk1eyk) showing
calving.
Question 2
0.5 / 0.5 pts
You are taken via Google Street Views to different locations where you are nearby a glacier. The ability of Google Street View to have you spin
around, look and interpret is puts you in the drivers seat for multiple choice and matching questions. You will need a background provided by the glacial
lectures in the GPH 111 class and readings about glaciers. Select the best match or multiple choice answer.
In Parque Nacional Los Glaciares in Argentina, you can walk around in Google Street Views
(https://www.google.com/maps/@-49.5187201,-72.9967071,3a,75y,276.91h,78.32t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sKewHKtp04WI1iPyh2itKWw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!6m1!1e
and see the front of the glacier as it enters the water. Spin around. Look around, Then, answer the question: how are all those icebergs made?
For this question, you will be on a Google Street View tour of the Matterhorn Glacier. This is an
aerial view of the Matternhorn glacier
(https://www.google.com/maps/@45.9662279,7.7004405,6388m/data=!3m1!1e3) area. This 360 view provides you a wintertime skiers perspective

(https://www.google.com/maps/@45.963769,7.7253712,3a,30y,294.17h,71.84t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s-

This summer view allows you to see the glacier cravasses. In the readings and lecture, you learned about glacial crevasses that can be made from
different sorts of stresses. First, focus on the glacial crevasses in the middle of the glacier. Then, look up close at the smaller crevasses that are found
on the side of the glacier. Do you see how they have different orientations? Please select the best answer that fills in these blanks. The glacial
crevasses in the middle of the glacier in this view

2/3
Correct!
extension; compression
pulling; pushing
extension; transform compression; extension
The smaller crevasses on the side are made when the glacier is compressing against the rocks. Those in the middle form from extension as the glacier
is moving faster in places -- forcing the ice to pull apart.
Question 3
0.5 / 0.5 pts
The rock is dissolving away by carbonation.
The glacier has a lake underneath it, and the rock is slowly filling up that lake.
The rock slowly moves its way down through to the bottom of the ice, resting underneath the ice sheet.
Correct!
Rock broken off the mountain faces by frost weathering is now buried inside snow and glacier ice. When the ice moves, the rock is carried away.
A lot of rock produced by frost weathering is carried to a glacier surface by avalanches. The rock then is incorporated into the ice. As the ice moves
downhill, the rock material moves with it. When the ice eventually melts in the zone of ablation, moraines are deposited -- to be composed of the glacial
till (a mixture of this rock material).
Question 4
0.5 / 0.5 pts
Correct!
recessional moraine
bergshrund
tarn
stoss and lee
Recessional moraine is the best answer. A moraine is a ridge of till, composed of the mixture of rocks that were deposited at the front of a glacier while it
was melting. The glacier was once much, much bigger. It then lost mass and the snout melted back. However, it stopped at the position of those two
people in this view

____________, while those right next to the side result from ___________. Argentina has some of the most accessible glacial terrain. However, you will not find this Google Street View

question, first spin around and look at this amazing place. You are seeing beautiful bare rock that is being fractured by the process of frost weathering.
Lots of rock is being broken off these cliff faces, but you see no talus just sitting around. In fact, all you see is just bare rock and ice.
Your question: where did all of the rock fragments that are frost weathered go? For this question, you will be on a Google Street View tour of the Matterhorn Glacier
. This is an
aerial view of the Matternhorn glacier

glacier is on your right. There is a lake in front of the glacier, and there is a small ridge composed of a mixture of boulder, cobbles, sand and mud on
your left. This is a close-up of that ridge

people in the view for scale. Those people are standing on what type of glacial landform?
