Glacier Model
Product Code : JA-ERAM-4422
The Glacier Model (SKU JA-ERAM-4422) is a geography landform model of a glacier: a large, persistent body of ice that forms where the accumulation of snow exceeds its ablation, the loss of ice by melting and other processes. Glaciers move slowly downhill, eroding U-shaped valleys and depositing moraines. JaincoLab makes this glacier model for school geography rooms and college physical geography teaching, alongside its ice sheet and valley models.
