Belongs here: a process that requires sustained ice or freeze-thaw cycling to operate. Does not belong here: an ordinary weathering or erosion process that happens to occur in a cold climate without ice being the active agent, held under Geomorphology.FactsAll Glacial and Periglacial ProcessesSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEarth System DomainWell-attestedCryosphere 1All Glacial and Periglacial ProcessesFilter Results33 entriesSubdisciplineAllGlacial and Periglacial Processes (World) (33)Process NatureAllClimatic (1)Geomorphological (6)Glacial (25)Tectonic (1)TimescaleAllDecades to centuries (documented retreat since 1850) (1)Gradual, slow downslope movement (1)Many thousands of years (1)sub-annual to decadal (1)Caused ByAllArete Formation (1)Cirque Formation (1)Crevasse Formation (1)Drumlin Formation (1)Esker Formation (1)Fjord Formation (1)Frost Heave (1)Glacial Advance (1)Glacial Deposition (6)Glacial Erosion (7)Glacial Horn Formation (1)Glacial Retreat (1)Glacier Mass Balance (1)Glacier Surge (1)Hanging Valley Formation (1)Ice Sheet Dynamics (1)Isostasy (1)Kettle Lake Formation (1)Moraine Formation (1)Outwash Plain Formation (1)Pingo Formation (1)Roche Moutonnee Formation (1)Sea Level Change (1)Part OfAllFrost Heave (1)Glacial Advance (1)Glacial Calving (1)Glacial Deposition (2)Glacial Erosion (1)Glacial Plucking (1)Glacial Retreat (1)Glacial Till Deposition (1)Glaciation (6)Glacier Mass Balance (1)Ice Sheet Dynamics (1)Isostasy (1)Mechanical Weathering (1)Nivation (1)Patterned Ground Formation (1)Permafrost and Periglacial Processes (6)Rock Glacier Formation (1)Solifluction (1)Thermokarst (1)BrowseCompareSelect all 33Arete FormationGlacial and Periglacial ProcessesCirque FormationGlacial and Periglacial ProcessesCrevasse FormationGlacial and Periglacial ProcessesDrumlin FormationGlacial and Periglacial ProcessesEsker FormationGlacial and Periglacial ProcessesFjord FormationGlacial and Periglacial ProcessesFreeze-Thaw WeatheringGlacial and Periglacial ProcessesFrost HeaveGlacial and Periglacial ProcessesGlacial AdvanceGlacial and Periglacial ProcessesGlacial CalvingGlacial and Periglacial ProcessesGlacial DepositionGlacial and Periglacial ProcessesGlacial ErosionGlacial and Periglacial ProcessesGlacial Horn FormationGlacial and Periglacial ProcessesGlacial Isostatic ReboundGlacial and Periglacial ProcessesGlacial PluckingGlacial and Periglacial ProcessesGlacial RetreatGlacial and Periglacial ProcessesGlacial Till DepositionGlacial and Periglacial ProcessesGlaciationGlacial and Periglacial ProcessesGlacier Mass BalanceGlacial and Periglacial ProcessesGlacier SurgeGlacial and Periglacial ProcessesHanging Valley FormationGlacial and Periglacial ProcessesIce Sheet DynamicsGlacial and Periglacial ProcessesKettle Lake FormationGlacial and Periglacial ProcessesMoraine FormationGlacial and Periglacial ProcessesNivationGlacial and Periglacial ProcessesOutwash Plain FormationGlacial and Periglacial ProcessesPatterned Ground FormationGlacial and Periglacial ProcessesPermafrost and Periglacial ProcessesGlacial and Periglacial ProcessesPingo FormationGlacial and Periglacial ProcessesRoche Moutonnee FormationGlacial and Periglacial ProcessesRock Glacier FormationGlacial and Periglacial ProcessesSolifluctionGlacial and Periglacial ProcessesThermokarstGlacial and Periglacial ProcessesSources1.
