Figure 15.6
Principal styles of ice flow and glacier movement
in plan and cross-section. Flow-parallel vertical sections are
shown below the glacier, with flow-parallel surface highlights
and transverse plan sections above. Extending flow occurs in
icefalls and at the entrance to outlet glaciers. Compressive
flow and ogives form at the base of outlet glaciers and
icefalls. Shearing occurs over stationary terminus ice.
