Continental Ice Sheets - Glaciers formed in non-mountainous areas of continents Only 2 exist today: Greenland and Antarctica Ice Shelfs: Where they meet the sea Vary in thickness from hundreds of feet to two miles deep Crustal Depression - Enormous weight of ice sheets Isostatic adjustment, crust is rebounding where glacial ice existed Response to weight loss Depositional Glacial Landforms - All debris in the ice is eventually brought to the ablation zone and deposited Modes: Directed...
