There are two basic types of glaciers, those that flow outward in all directions with little regard for any underlying terrain and those
that are confined by terrain to a particular path.
The first category of glaciers includes those massive blankets that cover whole continents, appropriately called ice sheets. There
must be over 50,000 square kilometers of land covered with ice for the glacier to qualify as an ice sheet. When portions of an ice sheet
spread out over the ocean, they form ice shelves.
About 20,000 years ago the Cordilleran Ice Sheet covered nearly all the mountains in southern Alaska, western Canada, and the
western United States. It was about 3 kilometers deep at its thickest point in northern Alberta. Now there are only two sheets left on Earth,
those covering Greenland and Antarctica.
Any domelike body of ice that also flows out in all directions but covers less than 50,000 square kilometers is called an ice cap.
Although ice caps are rare nowadays, there are a number in northeastern Canada, on Baffin Island, and on the Queen Elizabeth Islands.
The second category of glaciers includes those of a variety of shapes and sizes generally called mountain or alpine glaciers.
Mountain glaciers are typically identified by the landform that controls their flow. One form of mountain glacier that resembles an ice cap
in that it flows outward in several directions is called an ice field. The difference between an ice field and an ice cap is subtle. Essentially,
the flow of an ice field is somewhat controlled by surrounding terrain and thus does not have the domelike shape of a cap. There are
several ice fields in the Wrangell St. Elias and Chugach mountains of Alaska and northern British Columbia.
Less spectacular than large ice fields are the most common types of mountain glaciers: the cirque and valley glaciers. Cirque
glaciers are found in depressions in the surface of the land and have a characteristic circular shape. The ice of valley glaciers, bound by
terrain, flows down valleys, curves around their corners, and falls over cliffs.

A. Where major glaciers are located A. glacier
B. How glaciers shape the land B. cap

Tools and hand bones excavated from the Swartkrans cave complex in South Africa suggest that a close relative of early humans
known as Australopithecus robustus may have made and used primitive tools long before the species became extinct 1 million years ago.
It may even have made and used primitive tools long before humanity's direct ancestor, Homo habilis, or "handy man," began doing so.
Homo habilis and its successor, Homo erectus, coexisted with Australopithecus robustus on the plains of South Africa for more than a
million years.
The Swartkrans cave in South Africa has been under excavation since the 1940's. The earliest fossil-containing layers of
sedimentary rock in the cave date from about 1.9 million years ago and contain extensive remains of animals, primitive tools, and two or
more species of apelike hominids. The key recent discovery involved bones from the hand of Australopithecus robustus, the first time
such bones have been found.
The most important feature of the Australopithecus robustus hand was the pollical distal thumb tip, the last bone in the thumb. The
bone had an attachment point for a "uniquely human" muscle, the flexor pollicis longus, that had previously been found only in more
recent ancestors. That muscle gave Australopithecus robustus an opposable thumb, a feature that would allow them to grip objects,
including tools. The researchers also found primitive bone and stone implements, especially digging tools, in the same layers of
sediments.
Australopithecus robustus were more heavily built-more "robust" in anthropological terms-than their successors. They had broad
faces, heavy jaws, and massive crushing and grinding teeth that were used for eating hard fruits, seeds, and fibrous underground plant
parts. They walked upright, which would have allowed them to carry and use tools. Most experts had previously believed that Homo
habilis were able to supplant Australopithecus robustus because the former's ability to use tools gave them an innate superiority. The
discovery that Australopithecus robustus also used tools means that researchers will have to seek other explanations for their extinction.
Perhaps their reliance on naturally occurring plants led to their downfall as the climate became drier and cooler, or perhaps Homo habilis,
with their bigger brains, were simply able to make more sophisticated tools.
