Global warming Glacier meltwater?

Question

i forgot the name for the channels that melting water off of glaciers. i think it starts with an M. and its the water canal things that go all the way to the bottom.

Answer 1

My spelling is probably wrong, but I believe it is called a "mullen"

Sorry, it's spelled "moulin"

Answer 2

The term is used in "Inconvenient truth".  

That is, if you are referring to the effect of warming water sitting on top of a glacier in a pool, then suddenly cutting a channel all the way to the bottom.

This is not clearly a case of global warming, although it will happen as a result thereof.

It is specifically a result of intense sunlight on a horizontal upper surface of a glacier while ambient temperature is warm enough to prevent refreezing.

The pool of water absorbs far more sunlight than would the ice of a glacier.

This effect happens of course only when summer sun shines on the glacier for most of a 24 hour day.

Answer 3
