Geology, Palaeontology & Archaeology / What ice mountain height would a base at liquid nitrogen temperature support?
« on: 08/04/2006 06:22:47 »
I am trying to figure out maximum height a given diameter base
can support, cooled to liquid nitrogen temperature.
Cannot find strain rate data for ice at very low temperatures and high pressures, into the TPa range.
Can the 1 : 1 1/2 max stable slope of sand dunes be used ?
Resulting shape parabolic as in ice fields ?
Exponential taper as in scale height ?
