Category:Valley glaciers

Dansk: dalgletscher, daljökull

Deutsch: Talgletscher sind Eismassen, die ein deutlich begrenztes Einzugsgebiet besitzen und sich unter dem Einfluss der Schwerkraft in einem Tal abwärts bewegen. Klassisch dafür sind die großen Gebirgsgletscher. Sowohl die Menge des Schmelzwassers als auch die Fließgeschwindigkeit des Gletschers variieren im Jahresverlauf mit einem Maximum im Sommer. Obwohl Talgletscher nur etwa ein Prozent der vergletscherten Gebiete der Erde ausmachen, sind sie wegen ihres imposanten Aussehens der bekannteste Gletschertyp.

English: Valley glaciers can be outlet glaciers that provide drainage for icefields, icecaps or icesheets and they are also constrained by underlying topography. But they may also form up in mountain ranges as gathering snow turns to ice. Ice-free exposed bedrock and slopes often surround valley glaciers, providing snow and ice from above to accumulate on the glacier via avalanches. True fjords are formed when valley glaciers retreat and sea water fills the void.

Español: Glaciares de valle

Français : Les Glaciers de vallée sont la représentation classique que l'on se fait d'un glacier : un bassin d'alimentation en forme de cirque au pied de pics dépassant de la neige, une masse de glace allongée occupant toute la largeur d'une vallée et un front glaciaire donnant naissance à un torrent.
