How do glaciers retreat?
Glaciers retreat when the glacier melts more ice than is in input by snow.They cannot be anywhere near or in hot areas or they will melt.
What change would occur in a glacier if average annual temperature rose and the precipitation decreased?
The glacier would retreat. The rise in temperature would cause the glacier itself to start melting, and in addition, would lower the amount of precipitation in the form of snow at the top of the glacier. It would be rain instead. Lowering the precipitation would cause less ice formation as well and would also contribute to the glacier retreating.
Which is faster the advance or the retreat of an ice sheet?
Glaciers are advancing and retreating all the time. During the summer most will be retreating, during the winter most will be advancing. Therefore the world is not in a 'glacial advance or retreat' because each glacier is independent.
Under what circumstances will the front of the glacier advance Retreat Remain history?
Glacial advance and retreat is determined by the balance between the accumulation of snow and the removal of ice by sublimation, melting, and calving (ablation). When the rate of ablation below the snowline equal

What are glacial striations and glacial erratics?
Striations are "scratches" left in bedrock by glaciers. A small particle of rock, generally pebble sized or smaller, becomes entrained in the base of the glacier and dragged along the surface of the bedrock. These can often be seen on hard bedrock surfaces that are resistant to subsequent weathering after the retreat of the glacier. Erratics are large rocks that are found out of place in the landscape, i.e. not near where they were formed. They are removed from their provenance by a glacier and transported away, before being deposited in a different part or the landscape when the glacier melts.
Is a drumlin caused by erosion?
A drumlin is a land-form from glacial deposition, which was once eroded. It is formed both by erosion and deposition. A drumlin is formed when moraine deposited by a retreating glacier is subsequently reshaped by the returning glacier the following year or after the glacial interval with caused the glacier to retreat in the first place.

How do glaciers retreat?
Glaciers retreat when the glacier melts more ice than is in input by snow.They cannot be anywhere near or in hot areas or they will melt.
What states do not contain an active glacier?
The only state that does contain an active glacier is Alaska. Glacier National Park in Montana still has glaciers, but they are all in serious retreat. It is estimated that at the current rate, by 2030, they will be gone.
