glaciers slide slowly when they melt and there is water under them similarly as ice cubes.

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.

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.

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.
