Terms associated with glaciation include "glacier," which is a large mass of ice that moves slowly over land; "glacial retreat," referring to the process where glaciers shrink due to melting; and "permafrost," which is permanently frozen ground that can develop beneath glaciers. Other key terms include "moraine," which is debris accumulated by glaciers, and "interglacial," describing periods between glaciations when temperatures are warmer.
