Is a glacier nothing more than a huge mineral flowing downhill?
yea
Is a glacier a type of water form?
A glacier is formed from frozen water, and snow accumulating high in the mountains adding weight and forcing forward movement downhill.
What is large ice mass that moves slowly down a mountain across land is called?
It is a glacier. As more snow and ice is added at the top, in the mountains, so the extra weight helps to push the front of the glacier downhill.
Naturally formed mass of ice and snow that moves downhill on land under the influence of gravity?
Naturally formed mass of ice and snow that moves downhill on land under the influence of gravity
When and how do glaciers advance?
Glaciers advance when the weight of the new snow that piles on top of the glacier gets heavy enough to push it downhill.
When does gravity begin to pull a glacier downhill?
When the weight of snow and ice is great enough the glacier starts moving downhill under the influence of gravity. This point is determined by the relationship between accumulation and wastage of the glacier.
What pulls rock and sediments downhill?
gravity
What force pulls water downhill?
Gravity
Is a glacier nothing more than a huge mineral flowing downhill?
yea
In polar express What was the name of the steepest downhill grade in the world?
Glacier Gulch
How gravity effects glaciers?
The mutual forces of gravitational attraction between a glacier and the Earth cause the glacier to slowly 'flow' downhill. Also, if any of the ice should melt underneath the glacier, then the resulting liquid water flows similarly downhill, although faster than the ice does.
Which word names a force that pulls pieces of rock downhill?
Gravity
What will stop a glacier from moving downhill?
There needs to be matter greater in size and density to stop it/
What force pulls a bike downhill?
The force of Gravity. Gravity is the force that pulls everything down to the ground. Hope this helps!
Does gravity or wind quickly pulls rocks and dirt downhill in a landslide?
Gravity
Does gravity plays a role in the movement of glaciers?
Yes, it does. A glacier is a river of ice flowing downhill, just like a river of water flows downhill but slower.
Is a glacier a type of water form?
A glacier is formed from frozen water, and snow accumulating high in the mountains adding weight and forcing forward movement downhill.
