Geology of the Yorkshire Dales National Park

It is thought that the gorges were cut through frozen rock during glacial and immediately post glacial times. This accounts for their narrowness and sheer sides. In many cases these are now dry valleys, the s ...

... Let’s see what it is really like! Antarctica’s ice sheet is constantly on the move. Huge rivers of ice known as glaciers are pulled slowly by gravity from the interior towards the sea. Along the way, the ice cracks, breaks and is ruptured by underlying rock. Crevasses up to hundreds of metres deep ...

Cryosphere
The cryosphere (from the Greek κρύος kryos, ""cold"", ""frost"" or ""ice"" and σφαῖρα sphaira, ""globe, ball"") is those portions of Earth's surface where water is in solid form, including sea ice, lake ice, river ice, snow cover, glaciers, ice caps, ice sheets, and frozen ground (which includes permafrost). Thus, there is a wide overlap with the hydrosphere. The cryosphere is an integral part of the global climate system with important linkages and feedbacks generated through its influence on surface energy and moisture fluxes, clouds, precipitation, hydrology, atmospheric and oceanic circulation. Through these feedback processes, the cryosphere plays a significant role in the global climate and in climate model response to global changes. The term deglaciation describes the retreat of cryospheric features.
