The document presents a detailed geomorphological analysis of a glacier-like form (GLF) located in Hellas Planitia on Mars. It describes the characteristics and surface terrain types of this mid-latitude viscous flow feature, which resembles terrestrial valley glaciers. The study utilizes high-resolution imaging to identify five distinct surface terrains within the GLF, including scaly terrain, polygonized terrain, linear terrain, mound-and-tail terrain, and rectilinear-ridge terrain. The authors suggest that the GLF may have experienced wet-based glacial conditions in its recent past and discuss implications for Martian glaciology and the thermal regime of similar features on Mars.

Which of the following characteristics are necessary for the definition of a glacier?

Glaciers are large masses of ice on land that form in places where more snow accumulates in a year than melts. As they slowly move across the land, they erode large amounts of rock and leave distinct depositional features behind.

What are the characteristics of a glacier?

A glacier is a large, perennial accumulation of crystalline ice, snow, rock, sediment, and often liquid water that originates on land and moves down slope under the influence of its own weight and gravity.

What is the geomorphic process of glaciers?

Glacial geomorphology is the scientific study of the processes, landscapes, and landforms produced by ice sheets, valley glaciers, and other ice masses on the surface of the Earth. These processes include understanding how ice masses move, and how glacial ice erodes, transports, and deposits sediment.

What are the 3 criteria for being a glacier?

Three conditions are necessary to form a glacier: (1) Cold local climate (polar latitudes or high elevation). (2) snow must be abundant; more snow must fall than melts, and (3) snow must not be removed by avalanches or wind.
