compound A chemical compound is a pure chemical substance consisting of two or more different chemical elements[1][2][3] that can be separated into simpler substances by chemical reactions[4] and that have a u nique and defined chemical structure. Chemical compounds consist of a fixed ratio of atoms[3] that are hold together in a defined spatial arrangement by chemical bonds. [Wikipedia] Ryan McGranaghan 2023.04.16

Compound basins Several catchment areas of a simple basin type (see below) in a specific zone of accumulation feeding a glacier tongue; Two or more individual accumulation basins feeding one glacier system; Can be us ed if a mountain glacier consists of several cirques, but has no valley developed GCW Glossary 2023.03.27

Compression of ice A further stage of ice compacting after its concentration reaches 9-10/10. During compression of ice, rafting and hummocking usually occur and stuffed ice may be formed within the coastal zone. Within the zones where big and giant floes are predominant, compression of ice may start if total concentration is equal 7-8/10. GCW Glossary 2023.03.27
