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!

How much of a glacier is above the water line?
Over 90% of an iceberg's volume (and mass) is underwater. Therefore 10% is above the water.A glacier is a flow of ice downhill, driven by snow and ice accumulating in the mountains. When a part of the glacier breaks off and begins to float on the sea, it becomes an iceberg.
What happens to a glacier when they get very heavy?
The density of ice at 0°C is 0.9167 g/cm³. The density increases slightly at lower temperatures. Therefore, the volume and temperature of the glacier is needed in order to calculate the exact weight.
Does Mass changes?
Yes, if the volume of an object is modified, for exaple by cutting.
What function do venous vessels serve?
to hold more blood when volume increases
Do gases have a definite volume and shape?
No definite shape and no definite volume. The volume of a gas is a function of the pressure. Increase pressure and the volume will drop. Gasses will expand to fill all the available volume if left to their own device, if no exterior pressure is applied.
What is the function of residual volume?
The function of residual volume is to keep enough pressure in the lungs to keep them from collapsing.

How do you expand your lungs?
There are two ways to expand your lungs: 1. Muscles in your chest expand your Rib Cage and pull your lungs outward, expanding their volume. 2. Your Diaphram muscles pull downward and expand your lungs downward.
What is the function of the water vascular system?
Volume and density
Is water volume control a function of the kidney?
yes
The volume of a sphere depends on its radius so the volume is a function of the radius. If this function is called Vr use the formula below to compute V4 the volume of a sphere with a radius of?
V(4) = 4/3, 64, pi
As a glacier retreats what happens to the volume of melting water?
The melted water runs away into the ocean raising sea levels. Some rivers depend on melting glaciers for their flow. If the glacier melts entirely then countries that rely on that river for water will be in trouble.
What is the benefit of harvesting trees by selective cutting rather than clear cutting?
Selective cutting leaves a canopy over the ground keeping it and streams that cross it cooler while also reducing runoff volume and erosion.
What has the most water ocean or glaciers?
Glaciers hold more than 68% of the world's fresh water, making them the largest reservoir of freshwater on Earth. Oceans contain about 97% of the Earth's water, but much of it is saltwater, which is not suitable for drinking or agriculture.
The volume of a sphere depends on its radius so the volume is a function of the radius If this function is called V r use the formula below to compute V3 the volume of a sphere with a radius of?
V(3)=4/3 27 pie
