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.
An alpine glacier that fills a valley is sometimes called a valley glacier. A large body of glacial ice astride a mountain, mountain range, or volcano is termed an ice cap or ice field. Ice caps have an area less than 50,000 km2 (19,000 sq mi) by definition. Glacial bodies larger than 50,000 km2 (19,000 sq mi) are called ice sheets or continental glaciers.
