Episode 47

We dare you to say ‘Ice Aged Ice Sheets’ five times fast. But first, in this episode, the GotR Gang dive into all things Glaciers, brrrr. Glaciers and Glaciation, generally speaking, covers the formation, features, effects, and causes of glaciation events on Earth. Ice sheets and alpine glaciers are described, including their movement and erosional features and landforms. Glacial deposits will be examined, including a discussion of the features created by till and stratified drift. Other effects are worthy of discussion, including crustal subsidence and rebound, sea level changes, alterations to streams and stream valleys, and the formation of proglacial and pluvial lakes. However, there is not enough time in one episode to bring you all the fun facts about glaciers. Remember, if you fall down a crevasse, the good news is you will only fall 50 meters. The bad news is that you will fall 50 meters. Between the bars of our main discussion, we present to you another Mineral Minute, then close things out with special guest Joe Guzman of Space Poets to promote his Psychedelic Panther Music Fest during this week’s That Freaking Rocks!

Until next time remember to…
