What is the loaction of the front of a glacier?
The leading edge of a glacier.
Under what circumstances will the front of a glacier advance?
A glacier is always moving forward (downhill). In the winter, the glacier usually isn't melting and its front edge (or "toe") will advance downhill. In the summer, the toe of the glacier usually melts faster than the glacier is moving forward, causing the front edge of the glacier to recede. If the recession in the summer is greater than the advance in the winter, then the glacier as a whole is receding and will eventually disappear. That is what is currently happening to most of the glaciers in North America and many other places around the world.

What moraines are ridges of rock debris formed in front of a moving glacier.?
Ridges of rock debris that form in front of a glacier are called terminal moraines at the point that the glacier stops moving ahead.
Will plucking occur if a glacier is NOT advancing?
Yes, because glacial ice is still moving inside the glacier even if the glacier's front is not advancing.
Does plucking make a glacier smaller or larger?
i guess it makes the glacier bigger because it's picking up surface materials?
What is the front of a glacier called?
The Snout is one name for it.
