What part of glacier moves fastest when the glacier moves by internal plastic flow?
The central part of the glacier moves fastest than its edges as it is thickest from the center.
Is the downward cutting force of ice in a glacier a function of volume?
no. the downward cutting force of ice in a glacier is a function of MASS :) and its forsure i got it out of the science book!
What part of a glacier moves fastest when glacier moves by internal plastic flow?
the top layer whic is compacted snow and ice which is about 15m deep
When does a glacier deposit its load?
When the glaciers loose their force and slow down
What is an internal force that helps create new landforms?
Volcanism is the internal force that helps create new landforms.
Is a glacier a constructive force?
yes

What type of internal force acts on a wire as you make it into a circle?
the internal force is bending

When the glaciers loose their force and slow down
True or false a glacier moves under the force of gravity?
Its true.
Is a torsion force an internal force?
Yes,torsion(Twist) is an internal force,along with tension(stretch),shear(cut,bend),compression(squeeze).An internal force acts between two parts of something.
Is it true that due to the force of friction a glacier will start to move downhill once the layer of snow and ice is more than about 30 to 40 meters deep?
False. A glacier will move due to the force of gravity, not friction.
What is an example of internal force?
A baseball is a great example of an internal force. The particles holding the baseball together is an internal force. But a baseball bat hitting the baseball is not an internal force, because an internal force is a force exerted by one part of a structure on another. The bat hitting the ball is an external force. Another example is a car. The pistons pushing the rods, the axle pushing the wheels, the wheels moving the car...etc. All these things are internal forces working on the car because the these things are all inside the car. But the friction created by the wheels of the car on the ground is an external force, as is the force holding the car up. Hope this helps!
How does wind and glacier abrade rock?
Wind and glaciers abrade rock with their brute force.
Internal forces?
A force internal to the system under consideration. Whether a force is regarded as internal or external depends on how the system is defined and classified, and is largely a matter of convenience. In biomechanics, the human body is generally regarded as the system and any force exerted by one part of the body on another is an internal force. Muscle contractions produce internal forces, which move a joint. Compare http://www.answers.com/topic/external-force.
