What else can I help you with?
The ice age center of accumilation that today remains under a continental glacier is the?
Greenland Center
Does a continental glacier flow in all directions?
No, a continental glacier generally flows radially outward from its center due to the force of gravity. However, the flow direction can be influenced by factors such as topography and subglacial geology.
Which part of valley glacier moves the fastest?
The center of a valley glacier moves the fastest due to reduced friction from surrounding valley walls and terrain. This faster flow in the center can cause the glacier to stretch and crack, creating crevasses.
When was Continental Center created?
Continental Center was created in 1973.
When was Continental Center I created?
Continental Center I was created in 1984.
When was Continental Oil Center created?
Continental Oil Center was created in 1981.
Which parts of glaciers and its triburitaries moves most quickly?
Glacier speed is not constant across the glacier. The top half of the glacier moves faster than the bottom, presumably because of friction. The sides also flow slower than the middle, also because of friction. The middle of the glacier at the equilibrium line flows fastest, the head and terminus flow slower. Above the equilibrium line the glacier grows faster than it melts; this is called the accumulation zone. Below the equilibrium line, the glacier melts faster than it grows; this is called the ablation zone.
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.
A typical glacier moves more rapidly at its?
Center and Surface. :)
Where does glacier ice move quickly and slowly within a glacier?
Glacier ice moves more quickly in the center of the glacier where there is less friction with the valley walls. It moves more slowly along the sides and bottom of the glacier where there is more friction with the rock and sediment beneath it.
Fastest moving part of a glacier is?
The fastest moving part of a glacier is typically the center of the glacier where it is flowing downhill and under the influence of gravity. This is known as the glacier's "zone of maximum flow" and can reach speeds of several feet to several tens of feet per day.
What part of a glacier moves fastest when glacier moves by internal plastic flow?
The center or axis of a glacier generally moves the fastest when the glacier is moving by internal plastic flow. This is due to the greater pressure and thickness of ice at the center, causing it to flow more readily than the slower moving edges and margins of the glacier.
