Note
Though solid, ice still flows plastically under its own weight — it both flows and grinds the bed into a U-shaped valley.

About Glaciers

Glaciers is one of 20 topics in the Earth domain (10⁷ m scale) at My Labs — an interactive simulation atlas. This virtual lab runs right in your browser: adjust the parameters, pick a scenario and watch the phenomenon change in real time, with a click-to-inspect cross-section for every structure.
