The change from grainy firn to steel-blue ice is caused by the compaction of firn layers under the weight of overlying snow, which forces out air and results in denser ice formation. This process eliminates air bubbles, allowing light to penetrate deeper into the ice and giving it a blue color due to ice crystal refraction.

The middle layer of a glacier is called the "firn zone". This layer is composed of partially compacted snow that is in the process of being transformed into ice. The firn zone is found between the surface snow accumulation zone and the deeper layers of glacier ice.

A snowfield typically forms before a glacier. Snow accumulates on high-altitude areas, gradually turning into firn (a type of compacted snow). Over time, the firn transforms into glacial ice, leading to the development of a glacier.

2 answers


Firn is partially compacted snow that has lasted at least one full year and has begun to form into ice. It is an intermediate stage in the glacier formation process between snow and glacier ice, with a density higher than fresh snow but lower than glacial ice. Firn typically becomes glacial ice after undergoing further compaction and recrystallization.

When snow is packed down by a great force, it becomes denser and more compact. This can create a layer of firn, which is partially compacted snow between fresh snow and glacial ice. Over time, this firn can further compress into glacial ice through the process of metamorphism.

2 answers


Snow and firn are compressed into a mass of ice due to the weight of the overlying snow, which increases pressure on the underlying layers. This pressure causes the snow crystals to recrystallize, expelling air and turning into denser ice. Over time, continued compression and recrystallization lead to the formation of glacier ice.

The weight of accumulated snow compresses lower layers, causing them to undergo a process called firnification, where air is squeezed out and the snow turns into firn, a dense, grainy type of snow. Over time, this firn further compresses into glacier ice due to the pressure and weight of the overlying snow and ice layers.

Snow is transformed into glacial ice through a process called firnification, where successive layers of snow are compressed under their weight into firn, a compacted snow with some air pockets. Over time, the firn undergoes further compaction and recrystallization, becoming glacial ice. This process can take several decades to centuries depending on the accumulation rate and temperatures.

When snow is packed down by great force, it becomes denser and more compact. This process is known as snow compaction, which can result in the formation of firn or eventually glacial ice over time. The snow crystals in the packed snow may break and recrystallize, leading to a more solid and uniform structure.

2 answers


Glaciers are only formed where there is sufficient snowfall, and temperatures low enough that the snow does not immediately melt (or sublimate). Regions which satisfy these criteria include land at high latitudes and high altitudes. So, yes, areas of high elevation (such as mountains) do provide sites for the accretion of snow (which could undergo compression into firn and subsequently glacial ice, provivng there is sufficient snowfall).

1 answer


simple . . it's because the glacier melted . . .

The snow actually forms a glacier through a long process...a metamorphosis of sorts. Snow (which is an ice crystal) falls in an area that stays cold enough year round that snow doesn't totally melt in the summer. There has to be a large accumulation of snow and it must be in a place that isn't prone to avalanches or severe enough wind to blow the snow away. Or (as in the poles, the snow that falls stays because it stays cold enough that the snow doesn't melt all year.)

Over a period of time, new layers of snow pile on top of previous snows, some parts melt so the layers pack more and more tightly. The transformation becomes known as firn. Eventually the firn transforms into a solid bluish mass filled with air bubbles. It can take a few decades or much longer.

1 answer


Gases and particles get trapped in ice cores through processes like firn densification and bubble entrapment during the formation of glacier ice. As snow accumulates and gets buried over time, the weight causes air to be compressed and trapped in bubbles within the ice. Particles can also be incorporated into the ice as it forms from the compaction of snow layers, preserving a record of past atmospheric conditions.

Glaciers are composed of ice mass, snow accumulation, firn (partially compacted snow), and ice formations such as crevasses and seracs. Glaciers also contain liquid water in the form of meltwater from surface ice and subglacial water from beneath the glacier. Sediments and debris such as rocks and soil can also be found within glaciers, which they pick up as they move and erode the surrounding landscape.

2 answers


As snow accumulates and gets compressed under its own weight, it transforms into dense ice. The process involves recrystallization of the snow granules, expelling air pockets, and increasing the density of the ice. Over time, the snow compacts into solid ice due to pressure, gravity, and temperature changes.

Glacial ice forms when snow accumulates and compacts over time, transforming into dense ice. The weight of the overlying snow causes it to compress and re-crystallize, expelling air bubbles and turning into solid ice. This process is known as firnification and eventually leads to the formation of glaciers.

Cirques (alternatively known as Corries in Scotland and Cwm's in Wales) are masses of ice that carve out an arm-chair shaped hollow with a steep back wall and a steep headwall. Snow fall collects in the already evident (if not small) hollow on the mountain side. They are prevalent on north facing slopes as they recieve less sunlight so accumulation exceeds ablation. A series of processes collectively known as Nivation (processes that occur under and near a snow patch) including freeze-thaw, solifluction, erosion, weathering etc. These processes cause the underlying rocks to disintegrate, and the hollow deepens. As the snow patch grows, its layers become increasingly compressed to form firn and eventually ice. Plucking steepens and scours the sidewalls and headwall, as the material is removed from the valley sides. A rotational movement of ice flow enables abrasion to deepen the hollow further. Cirques often form valley glaciers as they fill up the hollow and spill over the rock lip.

Glaciers develop and grow through a complex process that involves the accumulation and compaction of snow over long periods of time. Here is an overview of the process of glacier development and growth:

Snow Accumulation:

Glacier formation begins with the accumulation of snow in an area that experiences more snowfall during the winter than it loses through melting in the summer. This accumulation of snow is crucial to the glacier's growth. Over time, more and more snow accumulates, creating a layer of firn, which is granular snow that has partially compacted but is not yet fully transformed into glacial ice.

Compression and Compaction:

As new layers of snow accumulate on top of each other, the weight of the overlying snow causes the lower layers to become more compacted. This compaction forces out air and eventually transforms the firn into dense, granular ice. This process can take several years or even centuries, depending on the climate and the rate of snow accumulation.

Glacier Formation:

With continued snow accumulation and compaction, the granular ice eventually transitions into glacial ice, which is much denser and flows like a slow-moving river of ice under the influence of gravity. This is the point at which a glacier is considered to have formed.

Flow and Glacier Movement:

Glaciers are not stationary; they flow and move downslope due to their own weight and the force of gravity. The movement of glaciers is very slow, often just a few centimeters to meters per day, depending on the glacier's size and the terrain it flows over. This movement is what distinguishes a glacier from a static ice field or ice cap.

Zone of Accumulation and Zone of Ablation:

Glaciers have two distinct regions: the "zone of accumulation" and the "zone of ablation." The zone of accumulation is the upper part of the glacier where snow accumulation exceeds melting and sublimation. The zone of ablation is the lower part of the glacier where the ice melts or sublimates more than it accumulates. These two zones are in dynamic balance, and the boundary between them may shift over time in response to changes in climate.

Glacier Growth:

For a glacier to grow, the zone of accumulation must receive more snow and ice than the zone of ablation loses through melting and sublimation. Over time, this net gain in ice causes the glacier to advance and grow in size.

Response to Climate:

Glaciers are highly sensitive to changes in temperature and precipitation. Warmer temperatures or reduced snowfall can cause a glacier to retreat as the zone of ablation expands and overtakes the zone of accumulation. Conversely, colder temperatures and increased snowfall can lead to glacier advance.

The process of glacier development and growth is a continuous cycle, with the glacier advancing and retreating in response to changes in climate and the balance between snow accumulation and ice loss. Glaciers are valuable indicators of climate change, and their behavior is closely monitored by scientists to understand the Earth's changing climate.

Methane and ethane are the most abundant hydrocarbons in the atmosphere and they affect both atmospheric chemistry and climate. Both gases are emitted from fossil fuels and biomass burning, whereas methane (CH4) alone has large sources from wetlands, agriculture, landfills and waste water. Here we use measurements in firn (perennial snowpack) air from Greenland and Antarctica to reconstruct the atmospheric variability of ethane (C2H6) during the twentieth century. Ethane levels rose from early in the century until the 1980s, when the trend reversed, with a period of decline over the next 20 years. We find that this variability was primarily driven by changes in ethane emissions from fossil fuels; these emissions peaked in the 1960s and 1970s at 14-16 teragrams per year (1 Tg = 1012 g) and dropped to 8-10 Tg yr−1 by the turn of the century. The reduction in fossil-fuel sources is probably related to changes in light hydrocarbon emissions associated with petroleum production and use. The ethane-based fossil-fuel emission history is strikingly different from bottom-up estimates of methane emissions from fossil-fuel use1, 2, and implies that the fossil-fuel source of methane started to decline in the 1980s and probably caused the late twentieth century slow-down in the growth rate of atmospheric methane3, 4.

There were no dedicated Christian churches. Also, the earliest Christians were all Jews and the character of Christianity was Jewish in the sense that Jesus was proclaimed as the Messiah of Israel.It is also true that many Christians were not permitted to worship in the synagogue. It probably depended on the local situation regarding anti-Christian feelings from the relevant synagogue leaders.
