THE SURFACE OF ICE AS (CRYO)GEOLOGIC LANDFORM - LANDFORM TYPES OF TERRESTRIAL LAKE ICE AND THE SURFACE OF EUROPA

摘要

Ice features of lake ice on Earth and the ice cover of Europa can be viewed both as hidrologic feature, or as cryogeologic feature. Both can be used for determining terrestrial paleolandscapes of ice ages. Water can be considered as a one component magma, where "thermal differentiation" (or simple surficial cooling) creates its crust instead of chemical differentiation. Lake ice is considered as a miniature natural lab of cryo- and normal geological features and processes.
