| Abstract: | Around the Kunlun Peak there are many huge and broad mountains lifting above the Equilibrium Line altitade (ELA), forming the largest glacier distribution centre in China. Here the ELA is very high and the glacier existence is attributed to the unfavorableness of ablation, not the favorablenesses of accumulation. In the ablation period strong evaporation-sublimation and conduction expend a large amount of heat. restraining melting. In addition, meltwater is easy to refreeze. forming superimposed ice and then reducing mass loss. Low air temperature causes low ablation rate and short ablation period. Arid and cold climate is favorable to glacier development. comparable to the polar regions. Nonuniform precipitation decreases heat income during the ablation period and increases heat loss in winter. also resulting in restraining ablation. |
