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.
Types of glaciers. There are two primary types of glaciers: : Ice sheets are dome-shaped glaciers that flow away from a central region and are largely unaffected by underlying topography (e.g., Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets); : glaciers in mountains that flow down valleys.When two or glaciers meet and merge at the base of mountains, the new glacier is called a piedmont glacier. If the piedmont glacier flows to the sea, it's called a tidewater glacier.1) cirque glacier-glacier confined by a valley; forms in a cirque (semicircular basin at head of valley formed by plucking of bedrock by glacier moving down hill). 2) valley glacier-form in a valley. 3) ice caps-cover mountain tops.ypes of glaciers.
