Melted glaciers

[edit]

Should any new categories be made for former glaciers that are now gone due to global warming? Jason Quinn (talk) 11:59, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Jason Quinn:...probably a good idea to have such a category. Glaciers have a definition in that most glaciologists expect them to have a certain size and more often than not, be on a state of movement to be "living" glaciers. Timpanogos Glacier in Utah is no longer visible but still technically exists as a body of ice buried under rock and talus rock debris. I don't know if it is still moving or not. It is more likely simply a rock glacier or a subterranean body of ice now. Perhaps Category:Former glaciers would work?--MONGO 17:01, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
