Parts of the glaciers

Two parts stand out in a glacier: the area of increase (that of

neviza) with a positive balance of snow, and the runoff area

(tongue of the glacier), with a negative balance. In the first,

snow accumulates and hardens, and in the second, the ice

wears off and runs off. The existence of runoff zones is possible

only thanks to the accumulation of precipitation in the

feeding zone.

Partes de los glaciares

En un glaciar se destacan dos partes: la zona de aumentación

(la de neviza) con un balance positivo de nieve, y la zona

de escurrimiento (lengua del glaciar), con un balance negativo.

En la primera se produce la acumulación de nieve y

su endurecimiento, y en la segunda el hielo se gasta y se

escurre. La existencia de las zonas de escurrimiento es posible

solo gracias a la acumulación de las precipitaciones en

la zona de alimentación.
