ice lens meaning in Hindi

Examples

1. Ice lenses play the key role in complex patterns.
2. Ice lenses play the key role in fracture of bedrock and complex patterns.
3. Often, these situations lead to the formation of what are known as ice lenses.
4. Ice lenses will form within the bedrock, accumulating until the rock is sufficiently weakened that it shears or spalls off.
5. The permafrost core contains ice lenses no thicker than 2 3 cm, though locally lenses up to almost 40 cm thick have been described.
6. However the majority of frost heaving and of bedrock fracture results instead from ice segregation in ice lenses in the near-surface frozen regions.
7. Ice lens growth within the bedrock below the glacier is projected during the summer months when there is ample water at the base of the glacier.
8. They are found in shallow hollows in arable fields, which are the result of ice lenses melting at the end of the last ice age.
9. Certain frost-susceptible soils expand or heave upon freezing as a result of water migrating via capillary action to grow ice lenses near the freezing front.
10. Bands of sediment or glacial till have been observed below Antarctic ice sheets; these are believed to result from ice lenses forming in the debris and in the bedrock.
