READING COMPREHENSION
Read the passage carefully and select the correct answer!

During most of their lives, surge glaciers behave like normal glaciers, traveling perhaps only a
couple of inches per day. However, at intervals of 10 to 100 years, these glaciers move forward
up to 100 times faster than usual. The surge often progress along a glacier like a great wave,
proceeding from one section to another. Subglacial streams of meltwater might act as a lubricant,
allowing the glacier to flow rapidly toward the sea. The increasing water pressure under the
glacier might lift it of its bed, overcoming the friction between ice and rock, thus freeing the
glacier, which rapidly slides downhill. Surge glaciers also might be influenced by the climate,
volcanic heat, or earthquakes. However, many of these glaciers exist in the same areas as normal
glaciers, often almost side by side.

Some 800 years ago, Alaska's Hubbard Glacier advanced toward the sea, retreated, and advanced
again 500 years later. Since 1895, this seventy-mile-long river of ice has been flowing steadily
toward the Gulf of Alaska at a rate of approximately 200 feet per year. In June 1986, however,
the glacier surged ahead as much as 47 feet a day. Meanwhile, a western tributary, called Valerie
Glacier, advanced up to 112 feet per day. Hubbard's surge closed off Russell Fiord with a
formidable ice dam, some 2,500 feet wide and up to 800 feet high, whose caged waters
threatened the town of Yakutat to the south.

About 20 similar glaciers around the Gulf of Alaska are heading toward the sea. If enough surge
glaciers reach the ocean and raise sea levels, West Antarctic ice shelves could rise off the seafloor
and become adrift. A flood of ice would then surge into the Southern Sea. With the continued
rise in sea level, more ice would plunge into the ocean, causing sea levels to rise even higher,
which in turn would release more ice and set in motion a vicious cycle. The additional sea ice
floating toward the tropics would increase. Earth's albedo and lower global temperatures,
perhaps enough to initiate a new ice age. This situation appears to have occurred at the end of
the last warm interglacial (the time between glaciations), called the Sangamon, when sea ice
cooled the ocean dramatically, spawning the beginning of the Ice Age.
