Curiosity killed the Shup. :no:

Ha ha.

3 1/2 hours.. *sigh* maybe i should go play wii again.

I wish I had a video game console to play. Hey play an extra round for me!

I must learn all glacial processes....

As in glaciers? Let's see, they freeze, and potentially they melt. Studying done. :P At least that's how I've been rolling with the studying as of late.

Glaciers do not 'freeze'...

What happens is in upland areas where the temperature is low enough to cause percipitation to freeze, snow starts to accumulate. If the temperature continues to be below freezing the accumulation of snow will eventually become so great that the snow starts to become compacted. As the snow compacts under the weight, air is squeezed out from the layers of snow, gradually turning them into ice. As the snow turns into ice, the mass increases and eventually the force of gravity will start to pull the object downwards, this slight movement causes friction as the base of the glacier and this along with the pressure the ice is under at the lower layers cause melting to occur. This meltwater acts as a lubricant and as a result the glacier is able to travel faster. This process is known as basel flow.

These glaciers move faster in areas where summers are warmer, as there is more lubricating meltwater as a direct result of the higher temperatures. These are called 'temperate glaciers'. Glaciers in areas where the temperature in summer is still below freezing barely move at all due to the lack of meltwater. These are known as 'polar glaciers'. Due to the lack of meltwater, the main way in which polar glaciers move is internal flow. This is when the ice crystals oreintate themselves in the direction of the glaciers movement and slide past each other. This means the surface ice moves faster, which results in the formation of crevasses.

Im fantastic.

who cares, they are melting now! :);)

All right, I think it's time to give Oscar the Grouch some love.

Think about it, everybody on Sesame Street treats him so terribly, calling him mean and a grouch.

Well, can you really blame him (or it *shurgs*)? He's the poorest character on Sesame Street and lives in a trash can!

:P
