glaciers slide slowly when they melt and there is water under them similarly as ice cubes.
What else can I help you with?
How could you model the way that glaciers move in nature?
you could use a large ice cube , make a hill out of sand then put the ice cube at the top and see if it slowly slides down.
What are the different types of glaciers?
Ice Sheets Ice Shelves Ice Caps Ice Streams/Outlet Glaciers Icefields Mountain Glaciers Valley Glaciers Piedmont Glaciers Cirque Glaciers Hanging Glaciers Tidewater Glaciers
What is an interesting fact about glaciers?
If a vulcano were to burst on a glacier, it would melt faster than an ice-cube under hot water.
What melt first of a ice cube salt and ice cube with salt?
an ice cube with salt
Do ice cubes radiate heat?
Yes, Ice Cubes radiate heat. Consider that an ice cube can be modeled as a grey body (similar to a blackbody, but with a different emissivity) with a temperature = 0 °C. The apply Planck's equation to calculation the radiant exitance of the ice cube. This will give you a measure of the amount of heat given off by an ice cube.
What is the scientific term for an ice cube?
The scientific term for an ice cube is "solid water."
How many cars does ice cube have?
Ice cube has 90 cars
Why huge glaciers do not melt in sun.whereas ice cubes taken out from refrigerators melt within minutes?
It's not that glaciers don't melt in the sun; if you watch videos of glaciers you'll see water pouring off them. The difference is size: it takes far less time for a one-ounce ice cube to melt than a million-gallon glacier.
What is basal sliding?
In general, ice sliding across rock. Usually applies to glacial movement and its impact on the underlying ground.
What are two ways glaciers move?
Two ways glaciers move are through internal deformation, where ice crystals slip past each other due to pressure, and basal sliding, where the glacier slides on a thin layer of water at its base. These movements contribute to the overall flow of glaciers downhill.
What gasses are in a ice cube?
An ice cube is solid, and contains little gas although there could be air bubbles inside the ice.
What phase is a ice cube in?
the ice cube is in a phase of a solid.
