Paraglacial means unstable conditions caused by a significant relaxation time in processes and geomorphic patterns following glacial climates. Rates of landscape change and sediment output from the system are typically elevated during paraglacial landscape response. Periglacial processes—those that directly involve ice—may be prominent in the early stages of paraglacial landscape response, but the two terms are not synonymous. Many geomorphic processes that don't require freezing conditions—for example fluvial erosion, transport and deposition—are typically involved in paraglacial change.

| - Paraglaciar quiere decir condiciones de inestabilidad causadas por un tiempo de relajación considerable para procesos y patrones geomórficos tras tiempos de clima glacial. Más precisamente el término refiere a procesos no glaciales condicionados por glacianes en lugares recientemente liberados de glaciares. (es)
- Il termine Paraglaciale è un aggettivo che viene riferito alle condizioni instabili (secondo la definizione di Renwick, 1992) causate da un tempo di distensione significativo nei processi e nei modelli geomorfici che seguono i climi glaciali (Church e Ryder, 1972). Quando una grande massa di ghiaccio si scioglie, altri fattori come le comunità ecologiche, i modelli di depositi di sedimenti e la crosta terrestre necessita di tempo per adattarsi alle nuove condizioni.

- Paraglacial means unstable conditions caused by a significant relaxation time in processes and geomorphic patterns following glacial climates. Rates of landscape change and sediment output from the system are typically elevated during paraglacial landscape response. When a large mass of ice melts, the newly exposed landscape is free of vegetation and is generally unstable. Often, the retreating glacier is providing the area with high stream discharge, further increasing erosion. The combination of a lack of vegetation, high discharge, and a changing climate (the cause of deglaciation) forces ecological communities, sediment deposition patterns and surface morphology to adjust to the new conditions over time. Periglacial processes—those that directly involve ice—may be prominent in the early stages of paraglacial landscape response, but the two terms are not synonymous. Many geomorphic processes that don't require freezing conditions—for example fluvial erosion, transport and deposition—are typically involved in paraglacial change. (en)
