5. A long period of cold climate where glaciers cover large parts of the earth - ice age

8. The study of the Earth’s atmosphere in prehistoric times - paleoclimatology

9. Below the surface in the region under enough pressure that the ice is no longer brittle the ice distorts and changes shape due to the pressure of the above layers - plastic flow

10. When a glacier loses more snow and ice due to melting and calving than it accumulates - glacial retreat

B. 1. A deep crack or area of cracks that result from the upper layer of the glacier ice breaking when the lower layer of ice flows - crevasses, aka zone of fracture

5. Unsorted sediment deposited directly when glacial ice melts - moraine

6. A pile of rocks left behind by a glacier - glacial till

7. The location on a mountain glacier when the rate of accumulation is equivalent to the rate of melting - snowline or equilibrium line

8. the terminus or down-slope end of the glacier where ice and snow are melting faster than accumulating - zone of ablation (or wastage)

9. Firn = crystalline or granular snow that has not yet been compressed into ice. If is found especially on the upper part of a glacier
