Difference between Dam and Glacier

Dam vs. Glacier

A dam is a barrier that stops or restricts the flow of water or underground streams. A glacier is a persistent body of dense ice that is constantly moving under its own weight; it forms where the accumulation of snow exceeds its ablation (melting and sublimation) over many years, often centuries.

Similarities between Dam and Glacier

Dam and Glacier have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Climate, Earthquake, Erosion, Global warming, Ice jam, Moraine, Water resources.

Climate

Climate is the statistics of weather over long periods of time.

Earthquake

An earthquake (also known as a quake, tremor or temblor) is the shaking of the surface of the Earth, resulting from the sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere that creates seismic waves.

Erosion

In earth science, erosion is the action of surface processes (such as water flow or wind) that remove soil, rock, or dissolved material from one location on the Earth's crust, and then transport it to another location (not to be confused with weathering which involves no movement).

Global warming

Global warming, also referred to as climate change, is the observed century-scale rise in the average temperature of the Earth's climate system and its related effects.

Ice jam

Ice jams occur on rivers when floating ice accumulates at a natural or man-made feature that impedes its progress downstream.

Moraine

A moraine is any glacially formed accumulation of unconsolidated glacial debris (regolith and rock) that occurs in both currently and formerly glaciated regions on Earth (i.e. a past glacial maximum), through geomorphological processes.

Water resources

Water resources are natural resources of water that are potentially useful.
