Glaciers Part 2 - Application & Practice

Last Thursday's class focused on applying the information that we knew about glaciers, so that we could learn more about them. 

We reviewed key vocab terms that were connected to Glacial Features & Chapter 13, we discussed famous glaciers that exist around the world, and reviewed two case study materials.

Here is the class handout: Glacier Features + the Arctic case study sheet and Whistler Ski Area Map is available in class.

One of the key questions that we discussed was about analysing the positives and negatives of developing a ski resort.  We talked about what would be required in our written responses, and how to elaborate upon different aspects like tourism.

We also watched the first 15 minutes of Planet Earth: Ice Worlds.
