glaciers
Definition
A complete explanation of the intended meaning of a concept- A perennial mass of ice, and possibly firn and snow, originating on the land surface by the recrystallisation of snow and showing evidence of past or present flow. A glacier typically gains mass by accumulation of snow, and loses mass by melting and ice discharge into the sea or a lake if the glacier terminates in a body of water. Land ice masses of continental size (>50 000 km2) are referred to as ice sheets.
- Masa permanente de hielo, y posiblemente neviza y nieve, que se origina sobre la superficie terrestre debido a la recristalización de la nieve y que muestra evidencia de flujos en el pasado o el presente. La masa de los glaciares generalmente aumenta por la acumulación de nieve y se pierde por el deshielo y la descarga de hielo en el mar o en un lago si el glaciar desemboca en un cuerpo de agua. Las masas de hielo terrestres de tamaño continental (>50 000 km2) se denominan mantos de hielo. .
