What is a stationary glacier?
a glacier that stays in one spot ( stationary )answer 2 the above is OK, but these stationary ice fields are usually called ice plateaus. And they are plateaus because they don't move; otherwise they would be sloping. Actually they may have a very slight slope, but they will appear flat.
Will plucking occur if a glacier is NOT advancing?
Yes, because glacial ice is still moving inside the glacier even if the glacier's front is not advancing.
Is a glacier a mass of ice or a mass of sand?
The answer to the question is a glacier is a mass of ice.
What de you call a slow-moving mass of ice on a mountain?
Depending on when it was formed, the size and speed it is moving it could be either an Avalanche or Glacier. If it is an incredibly old, slow moving, large, ice mass it is likely a Glacier; however if it is a quickly moving, small (relatively), ice mass it is an Avalanche.
What is large ice mass that moves slowly down a mountain across land is called?
It is a glacier. As more snow and ice is added at the top, in the mountains, so the extra weight helps to push the front of the glacier downhill.

melts as fast as it moves.
What is the name of a crevasse at the head of a glacier between moving and stationary ice?

What is continental glacier?
A continental glacier is a glacier that spreads out from a central mass of ice.Hope this helps.Answer 2:A continental glacier is a an ice sheet covering much of a continent
What are some glacier jokes?
What did the glacier say to the other glacier? ICE ICE BABY
What is a large mass of snow and ice that moves slowly over land?
Any large mass of ice that moves slowly over ice is called a glacier.
Why is ice in a glacier considered to be a mineral but but what forms a glacier is not?
Ice forms a glacier and therefore it is considered a mineral.
