Ice Sheet and Icebergs Model
Product Code : JA-ERAM-4402
The Ice Sheet and Icebergs Model (SKU JA-ERAM-4402) is a geography model of glacial ice at the edge of a continent. An ice sheet is a mass of glacial land ice covering more than 50,000 square kilometres; its floating extension over the sea is an ice shelf, and icebergs form when blocks of ice break away from the shelf in a process called calving. JaincoLab makes this glacial landform model for school geography and college earth science teaching.
