Understanding Glaciers

In this video, we will take a look at glaciers, the massive sheets of ice that move along the Earth's surface due to gravity. We will explore how continental and alpine glaciers carve out the surface leaving features like drumlins, kettle lakes, u-shaped valleys, and terminal moraines. We will also look at how climate change and global warming are causing ice to melt, diminishing the glaciers that exist on Earth.

who else has to watch this for online learning?

POV: you're looking through the comments while the video you were asked to watch for science class is playing in the background

Who else is watching this for quarantine school work?

Having a test in a few hours, thanks for teaching me. Now I understand.

[feryalnayel]

I spent an hour looking for videos talking about this topic but no video has explained it this well, thanks

[manuelsandoval]

I’m just here because I got lost on YouTube! But I actually really enjoyed this as it was very simply explained & made me feel like I was back in school. No complicated terms and terms actually explained👏🏽thank you

Needless to say that over the last 20, 000 years glaciers successfully melted without human contribution and the water levels raised by 120 meters. In average the mean ocean level rise rate was 15mm/year and during melting pulses up to 30mm/year. Big question is about human contribution to this process? Our current water level rise is 3mm/year. So yes, glaciers are melting but do humans contribute significantly?
Otherwise very good presentation. Enjoyed it a lot. Thank you.

all my Earth science students will be watching it tomorrow, online learning. THANK YOU MIKE S!!!

Nope. I am here because I have been looking at satellite images from all over the world and seeing some interesting land formations, images that deceive the eyes. I now understand more about what I am looking at, ancient glacial land! WoW! This pretty cool stuff.

[shaileshbhise]

this seems to be a perfect explanation with actual pictures. Thank you.

[birbcat]

Thank you so much for the video! It's great for general knowledge, and definitely helped me with understanding my textbook more :D

[soap]

This stuff is really easy to grasp with pictures, but my damn textbook thought it was a good idea to have no illustrations and whatsoever. Thank you very much sir.

[saysatisfy]

Thank you sir so much i passed my test through it

[Daniel-clhj]

Who else is here because they’re just genuinely curious how glaciers work?

[lamontjohnson]

Probably the easiest to understand explanation of glaciers.

[chocolatefrogs]

A thousand times better than teaching while writing on a board

[Corry-bekz]

Finaly a video that agrees with millions of years everyone at my school thinks young earth... THANK YOU ❤😊 1:54

All the dislikes are people forced to watch this by their teacher.

[leapoecile]

This is great! My only complaint is that the background music is distracting. Doesn't seem necessary to me. Thanks.

I can’t believe how cute I find drumlins to be. Where is that little village built on top of one?
