THE ENORMOUS FORCES OF THE ICE SHEET
A bullet-nose block gives information about glaciers past and present. They were dragged by the ice across the ground. They lie parallel and have a pointed front, like a nose,
You can determine in what direction the ice moved by looking at the stones and blocks. Even thousands of years after the ice has melted.
Why are they called bullet-nose blocks?
The stone blocks have striations. What are they called? Find answer on page 44 in the book.
How would you describe the picture?
Why does the ice flow work like a powerful plane?
If a lot of snow falls and the weather is cold, the ice sheet will grow.
In recent years more of the ice has melted than has been added with new snow.
This makes the global sea level rise.
If all of the ice sheet melted the global sea level would rise by 7.2 metres.
The ice sheet is covering less and less of Greenland. This is caused by climate change. The weather is becoming warmer and warmer.
Can something be done to stop the climate changes?
