What can you tell about the rate of speed of different parts of the glacier?

usually you would place a couple of stakes across the glacier and over time you would see them move. so it would be the distance that the moved over the time it took. usually the stakes towards the middle will move the fastest because they are less affected by friction. you could also just clock it with a speed gun....

What is the galloping glacier?
A galloping glacier is a glacier that, unlike others of their type which move at inches per day, shoots ahead feet per day, an astonishing rate for glaciers. The nickname "the galloping glacier" has also been given to an Alaskan black rapids glacier which set a record for its speed. Galloping glaciers are most likely caused by extra melted snow lubricating the glacier.
What happens when a glaciers rate of melting is greater than its rate of movement?
An ice front recedes when a glaciers rate of melting is greater than its rate of movement. It is the end of the glacier.
What is the overall rate of speed an object moves?
speedIn physics:If the direction doesn't matter, the word "speed" is used.If the direction DOES matter, the word "velocity" is used.
What is necessary for plants to grow?
The organism must be able to control the timing and rate of cell division in different parts of its body.
When the amount or volume of blood pumped by the heart to the different body parts is affected when your pulse rate increased if so how?
Increased pulse rate means faster blood, and when blood goes from a vessel with a larger diameter to a smaller ones such as capilaries, it naturally speeds up. It would speed up more and depending on the vessel's wall resistance, might rupture the capilary.

What is a growing glacier?
A growing glacier is one where the rate of deposition of snow at the source exceeds the rate of loss of ice at the tow. In other words, a glacier which is getting bigger/longer.
How is speed different from a rate?
the per time
What the rate of change in position or rate of motion?
Velocity, which is different than speed in that it has a directional component to it.
What is the rate of change position or rate of motion?
Velocity, which is different than speed in that it has a directional component to it.
What is the rate of motion or the rate of change in position?
Velocity, which is different than speed in that it has a directional component to it.

How the Boulder Glacier has changed in recent years?
Boulder Glacier is shrinking at an increasing rate, such that it will not be classified as a glacier soon (if not already). See the link below for repeat photos.
What can affect the rate of weathering?
wind, water, waves, & glacier
Why do different metals react in different way and with different speed?
The way of reaction depends on its type, and the metal. As for the speed, there are different ways to increase or decrease reaction rate(temperature, catalyst.)
How do enzymes get a reaction started?
My Biology teacher said "They speed up the rate at which all parts react"
What does a rate tell you about the speed?
Rate is another word for speed. It is the speed.
