When was Bill Peyto born?
Bill Peyto was born on 1869-02-14.
How much has the peyto glacier retreated?
70%
When was the Peyto Glacier first researched?
1960s
By how much did Peyto glacier change since the past century?
It is estimated that Peyto Glacier has lost approximately 70% of its volume over the last century due to climate change. This loss is evident in the retreat of the glacier's terminus and reduction in its surface area.
By how much has the front edge of the Peyto Glacier changed in the past century?
The front edge of the Peyto Glacier has retreated approximately 2 kilometers in the past century. This retreat is largely due to climate change and rising global temperatures causing the glacier to melt at a faster rate.
What has the author J K Sedgwick written?
J. K. Sedgwick has written: 'Peyto Glacier'
How much does Peyto List from Jessie weigh?
Peyton List's height is 5"7 and weighs about 110 pounds.
Which of these plants was used in traditional Native American medicine - Ginseng Cactus Dandelion Banana?
Dandelion has been used in many traditional medical systems, including Native American and traditional Arabic medicine.http://www.medic8.com/complementary/dandelion.htm
Are there any unusual colors of the river?
There are rivers with unusual colors due to natural factors like mineral deposits or algae, creating colors such as red, green, or blue. For example, the Rio Tinto in Spain is known for its red hue from iron deposits, while the Peyto Lake in Canada has a turquoise color due to light reflecting off rock flour in the water.
What are some glaciers that begin with the letter P?
Penck Glacier (Tanzania); Pine Island Glacier, Polar Times Glacier, Priestley Glacier (Antarctica); Panchchuli Glacier, Pindari Glacier (India); Panmar Glacier, Passu Glacier (Pakistan); Pasterze Glacier (Austria); Platigliole Glacier, Praz-SecGlacier, Presena Glacier (Italy); Peyto Glacier, Pemberton Icefield (Canada); Pico de Orizaba, Popocatépetl, Glacier (Mexico); Portage Glacier, Princeton Glacier (Alaska); etc
Why does a fresh water lake turn turquoise?
Rock flour, or glacial flour, consists of clay-sized particles of rock, generated by glacial erosion or by artificial grinding to a similar size. Because the material is very small, it is suspended in river water making the water appear cloudy. If the river flows into a glacial lake, the lake may appear turquoise in color as a result. Examples of this are Lake Louise and Peyto Lake in Canada and Gjende lake in Norway. [edit]Formation Natural rock flour is typically formed during glacial migration, where the glacier grinds against rock beneath it, but is also produced by freeze thaw, where the act of water freezing and expanding in cracks helps break up rock formations. Although clay-sized, its particles are not clay minerals but typically ground up quartz and feldspar. Rock flour is carried out from the system via meltwater streams, where the particles travel in suspension. Rock flour particles can travel great distances either suspended in water or by the wind, in the latter case forming deposits called loess. EXTRACT from Wikipedia under ROCK FLOUR definition.
