1 gram = 15.432 358 353 grain In thâ¦e US, in medicine, the use of grains is disappearing and seems to be somewhat approximate: A 60 mg dose may be described as 1 grain, but you should expect 1 grain to be about 65 mg, or 0.065 grams.
The two types of glaciers are Valley or Alpine glaciers Continental glaciers. The difference between them is where they flow. Valley glaciers flow in mountain valleys from high to low elevations. Continental glaciers or ice sheets flow over vast unconfined land areas.
Alpine glaciers. Alpine glaciers begin high up in the mountains in bowl-shaped hollows called cirques. As the glacier grows, the ice slowly flows out of the cirque and into a valley. Several cirque glaciers can join together to form a single valley glacier. When valley glaciers flow out of the mountains, they spread out and join to form a piedmont glacier. The ice in contact with the valley walls contains a lot of rock and sediment which makes the ice dark grey or brown. When several cirque glaciers merge into a single valley or piedmont glacier the ice has a striped appearance. Zones of an alpine glacier: Click to view larger and see the legend.
