Description

An ice shelf is a large platform of glacial ice floating on the ocean, fed by one or multiple tributary glaciers. Ice shelves form along coastlines where the ice thickness is insufficient to displace the more dense surrounding ocean water. The boundary between the ice shelf (floating) and grounded ice is referred to as the grounding line; the boundary between the ice shelf and the open ocean is the ice front or calving front.

பனியடுக்கு என்பது பனியாறு, பனிவிரிப்பு என்பன கடற்கரையை நோக்கி நகர்ந்து சென்று, பெருங்கடலின் மேற்பரப்பில் மிதக்கும் பனித் திணிவாகும். அண்டார்க்டிக்கா, கிரீன்லாந்து, கனடா ஆகிய இடங்களிலேயே இவ்வாறான பனியடுக்குகள் காணப்படுகின்றன. பனியடுக்குகளின் தடிப்பம் 100 இலிருந்து 1000 மீட்டர் வரை வேறுபடும். பனியாறு நிலத்தைத் தொட்டுக் கொண்டிருந்து, பின்னர் நிலத்திலிருந்து விடுபட்டு பனியடுக்காக மிதக்கத் தொடங்கும் எல்லையானது தரையிறக்கக் கோடு எனப்படும்.
