Meltwater is water released by the melting of snow or ice, including glacial ice, tabular icebergs and ice shelves over oceans. Meltwater is often found in the ablation zone of glaciers, where the rate of snow cover is reducing. Meltwater can be produced during volcanic eruptions, in a similar way in which the more dangerous lahars form. When meltwater pools on the surface rather than flowing, it forms melt ponds.

Neanderthals (UK: /niˈændərˌtɑːl/, also US: /neɪ-, –ˈɑːn-, –ˌtɔːl, –ˌθɔːl/;[4] also Neanderthal Man, taxonomically Homo neanderthalensis or Homo sapiens neanderthalensis[5]) were archaic humans who lived in Eurasia during roughly 250,000 to 40,000 years ago.[6][7][8][9] They seem to have appeared in Europe and expanded into Southwest and Central Asia. They are known from numerous fossils, as well as stone tool assemblages. Almost all of those younger than 160,000 years are of the so-called Mousterian […] read more
