我不知道这个YouTube视频显示了什么,但它似乎一半是冰川,一半是“blob”。它看起来几乎是在“生长”,尽管我认为它是被某种方式推动的。< / p >
Can someone tell me what this is called, what causes it, and how common it is?
Warning: Strong language in the video.
它被称为冰推。湖面上的冰在风的吹拂下融化,将薄冰堆在岸上。我不知道这种现象有多普遍,但我在欧洲湖泊中见过规模小得多的情况。不过,这个场合作出了新闻。它看起来确实很壮观!
The warming spring weather melts the ice close to shore first, making the ice on the lake free-floating. The ice in the middle of the lake can still be close to a meter thick. Winds jostle the ice around, breaking it into chunks. With strong sustaining winds, the ice moves toward the downwind shore. With even stronger sustaining winds, the shoreline is not enough to stop the ice from moving onshore. The ice from further out (and this ice can be very thick) pushes the ice ashore, sometimes bulldozing trees and buildings.
Here's a playlist of 19 youtube videos that portray this phenomenon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EyfEDKWscg&list=PLPHgakWET6JeATJ1duoGkYItCvfPl26FU . At 32 seconds into the fifth video in the playlist you can see how thick some of the slabs of ice are.
