Quiz
{True or False, The study of the internal dynamics and effects of glaciers on astronomical objects is called astroglaciology. + TRUE - FALSE
 * type=""}

{The cryosphere is likely to include which of the following? + water in solid form + sea ice - rain + lake ice + river ice + snow cover + glaciers + ice caps + ice sheets
 * type="[]"}

{Yes or No, Black ice forms as water freezes on the bottom of the ice cover and the latent heat of crystallization is conducted upwards through the ice and snow to the atmosphere. + Yes - No
 * type=""}

{The science of the behavior of frozen snow is called { cryopediology (i) }
 * type="{}"}

{Chemistry phenomena associated with astroglaciology are - the human genome + water + carbon dioxide + organic compounds + silicates - plastic - black ice
 * type="[]"}

{Complete the text: With respect to Callisto, the cratered plains constitute most of the { surface (i) } area and represent the { ancient (i) } lithosphere, a mixture of ice and { rocky (i) } material.
 * type="{}"}

{Complete the text: Match up the astroglacial object with each of the possibilities below: ice cap - A optical characteristics of sediment suspensions - B water in solid form - C behavior of frozen snow - D ice sheets - E ice knobs - F cryopediology { D (i) }. lake Veitastrondsvatn { B (i) }. Callisto { F (i) }. cryosphere { C (i) }. Antarctica and Greenland { E (i) } Vatnajökull, Iceland { A (i) }.
 * type="{}"}

{Complete the text: Match up the object with the image: Callisto - A Vatnajökull, Iceland - B the Cryosphere - C Antarctica - D Ganymede - E Europa - F black ice - G { D (i) }. { G (i) }. { A (i) }. { F (i) }. { C (i) }. { E (i) } { B (i) }.
 * type="{}"}

{Which of the following is not an astronomical glacier? - Vatnajökull, Iceland + the photosphere - the last ice sheets in Europe and North America - the cryosphere - frozen snow - ice sheets are in Antarctica and Greenland
 * type=""}

{True or False, During the last glacial period at Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) the Laurentide ice sheet covered much of North America. + TRUE - FALSE
 * type=""}

{Which of the following is not an astronomical characteristic of ice? - an albedo as high as 80% - thin water frost deposits - ice knobs + tidal heating events - surface is composed of water ice and is one of the smoothest in the Solar System - the bright rays from Osiris Crater
 * type=""}

{ Yes or No, The tidal flexing of the ice may have heated the interior and strained the lithosphere, leading to the development of cracks and horst and graben faulting, which erased the old, dark terrain on 70% of the surface? - No + Yes
 * type=""}

Hypotheses

 * 1) There is no black ice on Io.
