  17. Is The Distribution of Water in Global Stores Changing? Are Ice Sheets and Glaciers Melting and Sea Levels Rising?

  18. Last Glacial Maximum

  19. DURING ICE AGES Freshwater increases to >3.5% Saltwater decreases to<96.5% Sea levels fall Water stored on continents, particularly in ice, increases

  20. BETWEEN ICE AGES Inter-glacials Freshwater decreases to <3.5% Saltwater increases to>96.5% Sea levels rises Water stored on continents, particularly in ice, decreases

  21. Fig. 1 Regional glacier mass budgets and areas.Red circles show 2003–2009 regional glacier mass budgets, and pale blue/green circles show regional glacier areas with tidewater basin fractions (the extent of ice flowing to termini in the ocean) in blue shading (Table 1).

  24. WHAT IS “AVERAGE RESIDENCE TIME”?

  25. WHAT IS “AVERAGE RESIDENCE TIME”? Volume of Store = $10 bills $ $ $ $ ? $ $ $ $ $ $ Output = $1 bill per day Input = $1 bill per day On average, how many days is the “red” dollar bill likely to stay in the store?

  26. AVERAGE RESIDENCE TIME Volume of Store = $10 bills $ $ $ $ ? $ $ $ $ $ $ Output = $1 bill per day Input = $1 bill per day On average, how many days is the “red” dollar bill likely to stay in the store? 10 days.

  27. AVERAGE RESIDENCE TIME What happens if I increase the number of bills in the store to 20? Volume of Store = $20 bills $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ ? $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ Output = $1 bill per day Input = $1 bill per day On average, how many days is the “red” dollar bill likely to stay in the store?

  28. AVERAGE RESIDENCE TIME What happens if I increase the number of bills in the store to 20? Volume of Store = $20 bills $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ ? $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ Output = $1 bill per day Input = $1 bill per day On average, how many days is the “red” dollar bill likely to stay in the store? 20 days!

  29. AS SIZE OF STORE INCREASES • AVERAGE RESIDENCE TIME INCREASES.

  30. AVERAGE RESIDENCE TIME What happens if I increase the rate of inputs and outputs of bills in the store to 10? Volume of Store = $10 bills $ $ $ $ ? ? $ $ $ $ $ $ Output = 2 dollar bills per day Input = 2 dollar bills per day On average, how many days is a “red” dollar bill likely to stay in the store?

  31. AVERAGE RESIDENCE TIME What happens if I increase the rate of inputs and outputs of bills in the store to 10? Volume of Store = $10 bills $ $ $ $ ? ? $ $ $ $ $ $ Output = 2 dollar bills per day Input = 2 dollar bills per day On average, how many days is a “red” dollar bill likely to stay in the store? 5 days!

  32. AS RATES OF INPUTS AND OUTPUTS (AVERAGE FLUX) INCREASE. • AVERAGE RESIDENCE TIME DECREASES.

  33. Volume = 1,338,000,000 km3 Average rate = 84% of 577,000 = 484,680km3 per year Avg. Residence = 1,338,000,000 / 484,680 = 2760 years

  34. Volume = 47,659,600 km3 Average rate = 23% of 577,000 = 132,710km3 per year Avg. Residence = 47,659,600 / 132,710 = 359 years

  35. Volume = 12,900 km3 Average rate = 100% of 577,000 = 577,000km3 per year Avg. Residence = 12,900 / 577,000 = 0.02 yrs (7.3 days)

  36. 0.02 yrs 400 yrs 2-3,000 yrs

  37. What Does This Have To Do with The Development of Landforms?

  38. Kinetic Energy -: By virtue of motion

  39. Potential Energy -: By virtue of position above some datum Increasing Potential Energy 3. 2. 1. Sea –level datum

  40. GRAVITY CONVERTS POTENTIAL TO KINETIC Potential Energy increased by Impounding water behind dam. Raises reservoir level Converted to Kinetic Energy to drive turbines.
